Update on the girls

On July 8th Tricia turned 3. She is just so cute at this age (Minus her lovely tantrums). Her well child visit is next week so I will post her stats after that. But here are a few updates about her:

-Her vocabulary is really taking off. She says so many things now and repeats pretty much anything she hears.
-She still takes a nap most days (sometimes she doesn't and those days can be brutal)
-She started potty training about a month ago and has just done wonderful with it. We are still struggling with nights but during the day she has no accidents at all.
-She loves playing outside - mostly riding her bike, which she is finally getting the hang of how to do that, playing in the sand, playing with bubbles, she loves swimming too in her little slide pool.
-She loves to go to the park, so much so that it's a disaster to try to get her out of there! We go about twice a week. 
-She loves to eat and eat and eat :) She's not too much of a picky eater. She will eat at least some of anything that is put in front of her. 


Mac's 5 month update:
-She is doing the high pitched screech now which is adorable
-She is a VERY smiley baby
-When she gets hungry she lets you know, and it's happy to crying in 2 seconds flat
-She is eating usually 6 oz at a feeding now. She still wakes up most nights at least once to eat a bottle. She loves to eat and eat and eat just like her sister.
-I have started her on foods recently because she is acting interested in our food. So we have had apples and just started peaches yesterday. She doesn't quite get it yet, she usually spits most of it back  out but she loves the spoon!
-She loves playing on her playmat. Tricia likes to lay there with her when she's on it - adorable!
-Tricia likes to try to get her to smile by tickling her which is so cute


Overall they are both doing wonderful and I'm loving every minute of the two of them!
