I know that I'm more relaxed with Gwyneth and Lillian's development than I was with Charlie. With Charlie I knew what she was supposed to be doing developmentally every month. With Gwyneth and Lillian I figure that they will do everything in their own time. It's such a different experience being able to truly enjoy them at this age. It's nice not worrying if they're 'on track'. If Charlie taught me anything it's that kids have their own schedule and they'll do things when they're ready.
So far Lillian seems to be a trailblazer. She has been the first to babble, crawl, pull herself up, cruise around furniture, and clap. Gwyneth is doing all these things too but she seems to pick them up after Lillian. Nothing seems to scare Lillian or slow her down. If you turn your back for one second she is half way up the stairs! I know that a lot of you have heard my predictions but based on her personality now, I think that Lillian is going to be the mastermind behind all of the girls' shenanigans.
Charlie loves her little sisters so much and loves to play with them. Every once in a while she gets a little too rough with them but for the most part she is great. She loves to read and sing to them and LOVES to make them laugh. Charlie will be right by Lillian's side when Lillian is hatching a plan. Owen doesn't like when I say this but I'm sure that Charlie will have a mug shot some day. I feel that this mug shot is going to be a direct result of one of Lillian's ideas.
Now for our sweet Gwyneth. Her chubby little cheeks and her chubby little thighs make her so kissable! She is overall a very happy, smiley baby. Based on the low key personality she has now I see her as the voice of reason when Lillian is planning something. She is going to try and convince Charlie and Lillian that it's a bad idea. But since she is a good sister and doesn't want them to get into any trouble, she'll drive the getaway car! :-)
Thanks for your honesty about slowing down to enjoy 'the ride' the since you hurried and worried through the first child. I completely and totally understand!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll three of your healthy, blue-eyed daughters are as beautiful as ever!
Thanks for the update and please pass out hugs and kisses from us (Nan sends one to Artu too!)
Look at those baby blues on those girls!!! So beautiful and healthy!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a true statement about kids doing things in their own time. Parents spend so much time worrying that their kid is behind or not doing what their friend is guilty of (I am guilty of that as you know...)....but they all eventually get it!
Great stats girls!
