Toddler time

Adelaide has definitely been growing into her own person more and more. She has started whining when she doesn't get what she wants. I guess that goes along with the temper tantrums. It's just amazing to see that she realizes that she is her own person with her own opinions. It makes the days a little bit harder, but in the end I know it's good that she is going through this and it's a normal progression. She is still very clingy to me, and usually wants to be held a lot. That might be because she is still sick....but I hope it ends soon. I really can't leave her at all, even to go to the bathroom!

She still is not walking, and sometimes I feel like she might never. She gets brave and will stand on her own, so maybe she will be walking by Easter? I guess we will see. I don't think she has anything wrong physically- I think she is just very cautious!

She talks a LOT! She will try and say anything..and when she starts to say a word she will keep repeating it until you figure out what she is saying and say it back to her. Sometimes this can take a few guesses...and she goes crazy. She is using her sign language as well, and I think that really helps her to communicate. She is already such a talker...look out!

Right now she is OBSESSED with bikes. If she sees one on the street, or on her clothes, or in a magazine...or her own bike. Now that we have the bike seat for her, it's all she wants to do. Our friends got her a sweatshirt with a bike on it for my baby shower, and each day she goes to her dresser and points to it saying "bike, bike" until I give her the shirt to wear, or put it on her bear. She loves bikes!!!

Dear Alisha,
I hope Adelaide gets better soon!

I'm not online very often these days so I can't catch up properly and I miss you very much.

Gaia started having tamtrums long time ago and sometimes they are so bad, she is very independent and sometimes I wish she was actually more clingy to me... I know it's natural for our babies to get more and more independent but sometimes I feel like Gaia is growing too fast. She's been walking properly for over a month now and she doesn't want to be held too often and I MISS her being closer to me...

I hope you are all well and I hope to catch up sometime soon as there have been many things happening here... (we're still in London).

Many kisses and hugs,
K and G
