The girls are quickly approaching 15 months and their personalities
are really changing. The newest and grandest thing for them both is drinking from my Camelbak water bottle, standing on chairs which will then lead to a climb onto the table. They are told, "sit down" at least 100 times a day!
Amelia (aka Monster A), still is our busy girl. If there is something for her to climb on she will! When told, “No!” she is quick to respond with her toothy grin. She says, mama, dada, HI, uh-oh and other random gibberish we aren’t able to interpret but Ellie is convinced they are most definitely saying, Ellie. ;) Amelia can be found, in some way, shape or form, traumatizing/picking on her twin. She will tackle her, pull her down and steal whatever it is that Nora has. Amelia will stand on her own and has taken 1-2 steps on her own. Amelia is a speedster on her knees and gets where she wants to go. Although Amelia is our busy girl, she is a little more apprehensive when it comes to new environments or new people.
Miss Nora pants, is wearing the role of “baby” of the family well. Nora is a lap girl, if you are sitting on the floor she will quickly be snuggling in your lap. She is ultrasensitive and quick to cry out and ear curdling cry or scream even before Amelia has touched her but might be getting a little too close. Nora says, all the same words as Amelia, but has been a little braver with taking steps on her own and probably has taken 4-5. Nora has some pretty facial expressions which include a wrinkling nose and duck lips. Nora already seems to have an ear for music and will often be dancing to music she hears at church, on TV or from a toy.
They have both mastered throwing tantrums with complete collapses on the floor, arched backs and screaming.
All in all, they are super good girls, they eat good, sleep good, and love daycare. We call them monsters when they aren’t on their best behavior and lambs when they are sleeping or if we’ve been away from them all day. We recently stayed at the Mall of America, while I was waiting to watch Isaac and Chris on a ride another mother with older twins, looked at me and said, “it gets easier.”
