November Update

Always, always more to update.
Molly loves to squeal and talk. She went through a small phase where she seemed to growl a lot, but she's found her voice now and it's a happy, high pitched squeal. She has rolled from both back to belly and belly to back, but I usually only catch her doing the back to belly roll. Once, she rolled over from back to belly, threw up (Molly is definitely known for this), smushed her face in her baby spit up and looked like a little monster. Poor thing- she had it in her eyelashes!

Molly sleeps pretty well during the night. She has good days and better days. On her good days, she'll go to bed between 7:30-8:30, wake up and eat between 12-2am, wake up again around 4-6am and usually wake up around 7am. On her better days, she goes to sleep, wakes up and eats around 4am and wakes up for the day around 6:30-7am. It can be hard, but it's not too terrible when you get to wake up to squeals and smiles.

Colleen and Molly are starting to interact more. They will make eye contact and giggle at each other, which is completely contagious. Colleen still hasn't shown much jealously towards Molly. Once, I was getting Colleen from her room after 'quiet time' and Molly was crying in her crib and Colleen stood in Molly's doorway and said "What's wrong? What's wrong?'. Every once in a while, she'll tell me to put Molly down, so that we can do something, but for a 2 year old, she is adapting amazingly well.

Dan's new favorite phrase from Colleen is "I tant reach it". Sometimes, she'll see something across the room, stretch and groan a little bit and say "I tant reach it". Sometimes she says it in an exorcist voice too.
Colleen plays so well independently. She loves to collect animals or figures and play with them for hours. She has sea animals for the bath, but the orca, whale and shark have special priviledges (I don't know why she picked them) and she plays with them all the time. She also loves her Donald, Goofy, and Snow White. Her favorite dwarf is Basbul. That one took me a little while to figure out.
