Humongous Enzo

Enzo is putting on his winter weight.  He must be anticipating our return to a colder climate as he is seemingly gaining weight quickly or he is just living up to his name meaning "Giant".  We haven't had another follow up appointment for him here, as we have one scheduled when we return to New Hampshire and want his vaccinations and documentation to all be in one place.  We took advantage of the pharmacies scale to weigh Enzo by process of elimination.  We first weight Laura and Enzo both together for 60.7 kg = 133.82 lbs.  Then I took Enzo from Laura and she only weighed 56.1 kg = 123.67 lbs.  This means that Enzo was 4.6 kg = 10.14 lbs.  Enzo was slightly dressed in a onesie and pants, and possibly a full diaper.  But in any case, in the past 3 weeks, he has grown from initial birth weight of 3.56 kg = 7.84 lbs. to 4.6 kg = 10.14 lbs., which is a gain of 1.04 kg = 2.3 lbs.  I missed the chance to weigh myself, but I am sure I have continued my weight loss program.  Abby weighed 15.1 kg = 33.28 lbs. and Zoë weighed 14.8 kg = 32.62 lbs.  This is the one of the largest differences they have had in weight in a long time, about a half a pound.

Enzo is a good eater and I can see how he is gaining weight as he constantly feeds.  Laura has also lost almost all of her pregnancy weight during this time period as well, and even without trying as our diet here has been mostly cookies and sugar.

Yes, Enzo's diaper was definitely full, when isn't it completely full?  However, even if we gave a whole pound to the wet diaper, he is still over 9 pounds, which is a big gain.  Newborns usually lose weight their first week outside the womb, then slowly start to gain again and by two weeks are expected to be back at their birth weight.  Newborns then gain an average of two thirds of an ounce per day.  Apparently Enzo is aiming to be an above average kind of baby.  I think it may just have something to do with the fact that he's always eating, in this hot climate he just can't seem to get enough.

Swimming Under Water

I was so amazed at the progression of events in our time swimming up in the pool today!  Both of the girls have been working on getting their faces and heads in the water every time we are in the pool, but today they really made progress.  Abby was standing up and leaning over dunking her head all the way under, so Zoë began doing it too.  I told them to try doing that while lying down in the pool. (They do this thing where they have their hands touching the bottom, arms straight, and feet out in back and they walk themselves across the pool like this, kicking their feet)  They both did this a few times, getting their heads all the way under, which was great.  I made the comment that this was the start of learning how to swim under water and all of a sudden Zoë began at one end of the pool, counted to three, put her head all the way under and walked herself on her hands across the pool like this.  Abby saw this and decided to try as well.  She had a different technique, as she decided that she'd try doing scoops with her hands and kick her feet while under, after pushing off of the wall, so she didn't actually get far but it was good practice.  Then she would come up and stand all the way up and wipe her face and catch her breath.  I was really surprised with how long Zoë would hold her breath, and when she'd come up she would put just her head above to take a breath and then go back under until she'd reached the wall.  Eventually, both of the girls were practicing getting their arms and legs moving while under water, and holding their breath for a while before coming up for air and then reaching the other side.  It was really fun to watch their progress and pride.

Good-Bye Sippy Cups

It's official... I threw out the sippy cups today.  (Alright, there are still a few in the cupboard, but those are for when we have younger guests visit)  The lids of the "take-n-toss" snow white cups we got in Oregon were definitely in need of a 'toss' and I couldn't see buying more at this stage. (The girls used them for their morning prune juice and also soy milk) Also, the neat cups that cousin Nikki gave us in Avella, though not technically 'sippy' cups, they still had a spout that snapped shut, were getting to be a real pain to keep the lids really fungus free.  So, this morning I decided, that's it... no more.  We'll take their mini nalgene's (thanks for those Auntie Reanna, they're finally going to get some good use) when we are out and about - nice and normal hard plastic bottles to be easily cleaned - and just use regular cups at home all the time instead of just some of the time.

Some of you may be thinking, "It's about time, they're almost 4!", but those of you who know me well will understand the accomplishment.  I've always been a big fan of keeping down the messes, especially with Zoë the mini-tornado. (I mean that as a term of endearment, I really do)  Keep on the look-out for "Good-Bye Bibs" to be coming as soon as I can muster up the final stage of phasing them out.

Zoë Learns to Skip

Zoë has been upset for a while that Abby is able to skip around the house or on walks and she hasn't been able to.  She'll say with a humph, "I don't know how to skip!"  But she finally got the hang of it today and hasn't stopped skipping all around the house saying, "Look at me go!".  When we got shoes on to go for a walk she exclaimed that she would be able to skip in the sneakers she had on.

Abby's First DRY Night in Undies

Abby did it too.  Last night she decided she wanted to be in undies as well.  She didn't wake up until 7:00 a.m. and was dry and ready to use the potty.

Zoë had dry undies again as well.

Zoë's First DRY Night in Undies

Abby and Zoë have both been asking me to try out sleeping in undies for the past few nights.  We tried last week with Abby, but ended up with wet sheets (and a wet bunny), so I had them waiting until there was another load of laundry ready to be washed.

Tonight Zoë was ready to try sleeping in undies.  Even though Abby had asked earlier in the day, when the time came, she decided she wanted a diaper.  I heard the girls knocking on their door this morning and opened it to see Zoë in DRY undies.  It turned out that Abby had made a good choice, as her diaper was wet.  When I took Zoë into the bathroom to pee I noticed that it was only 6:00 a.m. so I had both of the girls march back into bed.

Skipping

Abby surprised me today.  All of the sudden she just started skipping across the living room!  Not like galloping and pretending she was skipping, but real skipping!  It's been a while since we've even talked about the process of how to skip, but apparently something just clicked for her.

Seeing Abby, Zoë also tried to skip and after a little bit of watching Abby, she mastered this new skill halfway.  She kept saying, "hop, step, hop step" and would do it correctly on one side, but then couldn't get her other side to do the same thing. She's still working on it and keeps asking Abby to show her how.

In my previous life (i.e before kids!), I taught Phys. Ed. and I can tell you that skipping is a skill that most Kindergarteners can't master!  That left-side, then right-side, then left-side thing throws lots of kids off!  Your girls figured it out early.  I see gymnastics or ballet in their futures!

Abby's Writing

Abby just loves to write.  She is so eager to learn how to write letters.  This past week she's mastered writing "Mom" all by herself!  She writes it every chance she gets, I'm of course impressed.  Then, without me even talking to her about the word "Moo" today, she just remembered how it is spelled, and wrote it!  She picks things up so quickly and just wants to write, write, write.  Daddy wants to know when we'll work on the letter "D" so that his girls can master writing "Dad" since, "They did say dad before mom."

Great going Abby, my writing teacher in school was Mrs. Miller and she taught me how to write, close up the "o's" and "a's". We also made rainbows and ovals for our pratice. If we did a good job we got a GOLD STAR.

Zoë's First Night in Undies

Zoë said to me today after nap, "I love wearing no diapers!".  I asked her then if she'd like to try wearing undies tonight as well.  She was all excited for it, but then at bed time had some trepidation.  I think her biggest issue was thinking she wouldn't be able to get her sip of water at bed time if she was in undies.  She's been waking up dry for a good while now, so I think this may really be the end of diapers for Zoë!

Memory Match

I was watching Abby as Zoë was finishing up her tub time.  We were stacking dominoes to make baby houses and towers.  I found the double 7,8,9,10,11, and 12s and laid them out on the floor.  Each domino had only one color on it's face, and I had Abby name each color as I pointed to the domino.  She knew all the colors, but that wasn't the amazing feat.  I tested her twice through the list of dominoes, from left to right both times.  Then I turned the dominoes over, and from left to right and right to left, without looking at the color face sides, she was able to name each color/domino correctly regardless of order or sequence.  I was really amazed at her memory capacity, as I had to often pry up the domino to check her guesses, she was right.  I then thought that maybe she had associated the numbers with colors, so we tried another series, I mixed up the sequence and laid them out face up again, Abby named the colors again from left to right 2 times.  I turned them over, and she amazed me again.  With nearly a perfect score, she remembered almost all of them multiple times even though I had to check to tell her she was correct.  When Laura and Zoë came downstairs, I recalled the story to Laura and began to test her, she didn't get half as many correct as Abby.  I keep telling Laura that NOW is the time to get the girls involved and active in learning.  They are eager to devour information and we must not leave them wanting.

Three

Wow.  It hit me last night while running through my mental checklist of things that need to get done for Abby and Zoë's party, that we are going to be celebrating their third birthday, third.  I'm not sure how it happened, but all of the sudden we don't even have toddlers anymore, let alone babies.  There's usually at least one time each day when I just stare at the girls in amazement.  They have grown up so much, I just can't help but scoop them up and snuggle them and savor this stage.

Three Year Check-Up

We went to the pediatrician's office this morning for Abby and Zoë's three year check-up.  Being the "big girls" that they are, Abby and Zoë got a few new tests done, on top of the normal ones.  First we got weights and heights done.  Then they had their blood pressures taken, had a hearing test, and an eye exam.  For the hearing tests, Zoë volunteered to go first and when she was done, Abby was ready for her turn.  The girls were to give Daddy a high five every time they heard a beep.  Zoë got the idea towards the end, but was hesitant in actually lifting her arm to give the high five, not really sure of what was happening.  Abby's turn went very quickly and, having watched Zoë already, she did a great job of slapping Daddy's hand every time she heard the beep.  Both girls have fine hearing, despite their listening lapses every now and then.  For the eye exam there were shapes on the board, which hung to the door, as apposed to letters.  There was a shape at the end of the line that looked kind of like an apple, but both of the girls said that it was a "W".  Abby had her turn first, so I took Zoë out of the room so that she wouldn't influence Abby's answers, then we switched.  Lily came in shortly after, and both of the girls were being so silly jumping around and dancing.  They were talking up a storm and kept telling us that "Lily needs to check more things".  For the traditional eyes and ears checking, both of the girls were standing side by side and no one wanted to go first, so Lily ended up checking them both assembly line style.  Here are their stats:
Height: Abby is 36 1/4 inches; Zoë is 36 inches
Weight: Both of the girls are 25 pounds  They are now at the 5th percentile for weight for the first time in their lives, that "heavy milk" must be working.
Eyes: Both of the girls have 20/30 vision in both eyes.
Blood Pressure: Abby's was 88/40; Zoë's was 82/42
It was a great visit, with no shots and no tears!

Rock the Vote

Abby and Zoë went to the voting hall today.  I held Zoë in my booth and she started to cry.  She made her way back out to mommy who was still in line.  I finished up, picked up Abby and got mommy all set up.  Mommy got a chair and not  booth, so the girls thought she was not voting.  Abby wanted to go into the booth with me but since I had finished she couldn't.  She was upset.  We let her feed the sheet into the machine though.  We had prepped them to say "Rock the Vote" for the sign holders.  Like usual they didn't say it to them, but randomly throughout the hall.  One woman looked at me funny when Zoë said, "Did I rock the vote?"  I just smiled at her and said, "yes, you rocked the vote!"

Crib - Day Bed Removal

When we changed Abby and Zoë's beds from cribs to "toddler beds" that mainly consisted of taking off one of the crib rails and replacing it was a toddler safety rail.  This morning Abby told Daddy all about how she wanted to have a better big girl bed and where the beds would go and everything.  After this Chris went about taking apart the remaining rails and now the mattresses are on the floor.  We've had a little bit of struggle today with the girls getting off of their mattresses.  Zoë likes to drape the lower half of her body over the side and kick on the floor.  Abby and Zoë really like the new set-up and wanted to get some photos of themselves in their beds this evening, little did they know I had already snuck in this afternoon at nap time, while they were sleeping, and snapped a couple of shots.

Mouse Experts

The library has a great selection of educational computer games for kids.  We have tried some games on Nick Jr, but there are so many great choices at the library.  We just tried Reader Rabbit Toddler and the Dora fairy tale adventures.  The reader rabbit was great.  The girls enjoyed coloring and alphabet games, popping bubbles and matching shapes.  The games are just basic enough to help the girls master the mouse.  We will return it to the library today and try another game.  It is great watching the girls as they learn to master the mouse.

Abby's A's

After nap at school, Abby was coloring.  Zoë wanted me to take her to the bathroom.  When we came back in I saw some perfectly drawn "A's" on Abby's paper.  I told her how nice they were and then asked if Miss Angie helped her.  Angie said that she hadn't and that Abby had been over there coloring all by herself.  I was very impressed, and then saw her draw a few more.  Uppercase A's have been a little tricky for her.  Then, this morning the girls were coloring.  Abby was writing A's again, and so we worked together on putting the other letters in her name after it.  Then, she did it by herself!  She did the A, two small b's and then needed some help with the y.  She did it to the left instead of the right, but I still am impressed that she's already so close to being able to write her name.

Second Haircut and Self Showering

Abby spent all morning telling me that she wanted her haircut, and she's been up since 6:30 a.m.  This stemmed from the fact that every time Daddy sees the girls hair in their eyes, he ask if they want it cut like his.  Finally this morning I told Abby that if she really wanted her hair cut, I would cut it, but not as short as Daddy's.  Zoë said that she wanted to grow her hair long, Mommy was glad to hear it.  We marched up the stairs, but once Abby saw the scissors, she had some second thoughts.  Chris said that he thought we should go ahead and give both of the girls a trim anyway, since it has been a while.  Abby went first and would not hold still.  Her hair is just below her shoulders. Though not perfectly even, it does look cute.   Zoë got just a little trimmed off the bottom.  After Abby had her turn she got into the shower and washed herself up and rinsed herself.  She thought it was pretty neat to be showering herself.  Zoë went next and did very well also.

A Visit to Preschool

I took Abby and Zoë to visit Miss Angie's preschool class today.  They have been telling me that they want to go to school and be in her class for a little while now.  I was asked if I would put my name on the substitute list at the school, and told them I would think about it.  It seems like a good idea, since the girls would get to go for free whenever they needed me to sub.  I am taking the girls in a few times to get them used to things so that they would be familiar with the routine if and when the time comes that they would spend the day there.  Today we got there when the kids were having outside time on the playground.  Abby and Zoë were immediately off and trying out the things on the "big" playground.  At first I was spotting them as usual, but then took a step back and let them play as if I wasn't there.  They were having a lot of fun, but soon it was time to go inside.  They did a good job of getting in line and following the other kids into the classroom.  Abby went right in and was ready to use the potty.  Zoë was hesitant of the toilet with the automatic flusher, so Abby went first to show her it was safe.  Zoë was still a bit upset when she was on the potty, but got out unscathed.  Everything in the bathroom is low for the kids, but the knobs for the sink are still a little out of Abby and Zoë's reach.  Abby showed me she could take care of that and just hoisted herself up on her tummy to reach.  Next it was time to go into one of the side classrooms off of the big class and do a craft.  They got right up to the table and listened to the directions.  They smeared the glue on their blue papers, with very little help.  They had fun sprinkling on sand and then got to do more glue to attach shells, then put on some fishy stickers and colored with marker.  As kids finished they were allowed to play with some of the toys in the room.  At one point I let both of the girls know that I was going to go upstairs to the (adult) bathroom, and neither of them even glanced my way.  When I came back, Zoë looked at me and said "Go back to the bathroom Mommy."  After playing for a while and cleaning up they got to go back outside on the playground before lunch.  This time the girls got themselves nice and dirty, especially Zoë.  She had on gray sweatpants and the sand/rock mixture really showed up on her bum.  Both of the girls really liked the slides.  Zoë spent most of her time on the big silver slide, while Abby took to the big tube slide off of the climbing structure.  A couple of girls were playing in the empty pool and kept calling Abby and Zoë over to play.  Back inside it was time to go potty and wash hands before lunch.  This time Zoë didn't need me to go in the stall with her, she told me to go wait by the orange dinosaur. (it was actually an orange sea horse painted on the wall)  She did very well doing everything all by herself.  At lunch they had a little talking to about not grabbing other kids food, but besides that they did everything right along with the other kids.  I told them I was going to go talk to Miss Brenda upstairs, and they were all for that.  When I came back down to take them home, they really didn't want to go.  I told them that another time we could come and they could nap there.  Watching them be so independant, not only of me but of each other, made me see how much they really are growing up.  They grew up so much to me, just in a morning.

No More High Chairs

Since both of the girls high chairs were sold to Bethel School today, it's also the first day that Abby and Zoë are now sitting at the table in "adult" chairs.  They do pretty well, although we do need to remind them frequently not to turn around in their chairs and smear their hands all over.

More Undie Outings

We needed some things at Wal-Mart this morning and debated on what to do.  Chris suggested just putting diapers on the girls, but then agreed to just try our luck with them in undies.  Zoë had already done a good poop in the toilet, so we got that out of the way.  I packed extra clothes just in case and again, we had both of the girls go pee before we left.  We stopped at the post office and then on to the store.  Soon after we got there, Abby was fidgeting, so we took a trip to the bathroom.  Abby went pee, but Zoë didn't go.  We did all of our shopping and then when Chris was checking out, we made another bathroom stop.  This time, neither of the girls went pee.  I was a little nervous that Zoë would pee on the way home, but all was dry and both girls went when we got home. 

After nap and snack time we ventured out to the library.  Abby and Zoë enjoyed coloring and playing with puzzles.  Zoë picked out some Clifford books all on her own.  At one point Abby was doing "a little dance" and I asked her if she was pooping.  She told me no, so I patted her bum and didn't feel any.  Before checking out our books we took a trip to the restroom.  Zoë did a good pee, and then it was Abby's turn.  She had a little bit of poop in her undies (luckily it was "formed" ) so I shook it into the potty and let her pee.  Afterwards we had a talk about not fibbing when we ask her if she is pooping and about letting us know she needs to go poop.  We didn't have any pee accidents at all today, both of the girls are doing really well so far.  After dinner Zoë and Abby were playing and all of the sudden Zoë got up and quickly got her undies down and sat on her potty.  I went over to help her out a bit only to discover that she had pooped.  I let her know that she did a great job getting herself to the toilet when she knew she needed to go quickly.  We were very excited.
