Daphne is now able to pull herself up to her feet although she seems to prefer being on her knees. Fiona is all over the place pulling up on everything and even walking along the side of the couch while holding onto the cushions. Fiona has lessened the number of big falls and now seems to fall to her butt instead of her head - which means less crying. Daphne is still working on her stability when standing and still falls over pretty often. Occasionally Daphne starts crying because she is stuck standing up and not sure how to get down without falling - it is pretty cute. I get to come to her rescue and I always get a gigantic smile upon getting her 'unstuck.' Stella has been doing a great job sitting and is crawling like crazy. The house has changed a ton in the past week. The girls are everywhere and constantly in motion - there is no keeping these ladies still. Even during nap times, I have caught both Daphne and Fiona standing up in their cribs.
Most notably, Daphne says daddadad all the time - I'm not sure she knows exactly who dada is, but she loves to say it. I think she realizes that Brant responds to dada but I think she believes that her binkie, diaper and sisters are also dadas. We think she says hi or at least has the voice fluctuation to mock the sound. Perhaps we are reading into the babbling thing a bit much, but it keeps up smiling, so why not? The closest thing to a mama that I have heard is a mmmmmmummm in the middle of crying, which I have decided will not count as a mama (only happy mmmmm sounds will be mamas).
Amazing! I can't believe how much the girls have changed in just a few short weeks. And I can't wait to come to visit again!!! :D
