Twirls: 12 Months

The twirls had their 12 month appointments right when we got back to MI.  They've caught up on weight but their height is still short.  Short and chubby - taking after their mommy!  ;-)

Siena
  • Height: 2 ft 3.75 in (3%)
  • Weight: 19 lb 7 oz (36%)
  • Head: 44.45 cm (29%) or 17.50 in
Jaide
  • Height: 2 ft 4 in (5%)
  • Weight: 19 lb 15 oz (44%)
  • Head: 44.45 cm (29%) or 17.50 in
They are at such a fun age, starting to really become little people!  They are also starting to show distinct personality differences.

Siena Karry Glauser

  • explores - only plays with a toy for a sec
  • throws tantrums - will throw herself on her back and scream if she's mad
  • wants to sit on my lap.. especially if Jaide is there
  • seems more adventurous - learned to crawl first
  • goes eee ahhh (high/low)
  • her hands are tickleish - she laughs every time I wipe her hands off
  • she knows her name... she starts to crawl fast away from my when I say her name
  • pushes the button on her toy elephant than dives into my lap cause she's scared
  • always tries to escape my barricades:

The video shows how Siena goes eee ahhh (it is really long, but she only does it right at the beginning.  Youtube is being slow tonight so I'm not going to edit it down)

Jaide Katherine Glauser


This video shows how Jaide hugs her dolls.  So sweet!

This video show Jaide can finally crawl.  She goes for a few crawls then dives onto her belly and switches to army crawling.  The last minute of this shows it the best.

 Jaide stole Siena's blanket...

Then the next night Siena stole Jaide's... already acting like teenagers!

The doctor said to reduce their bottles, transition to whole milk, and feed them mostly with regular food.  I had been avoiding this because I didn't feel like cleaning up the mess 3 times a day.  But I've given in to the fact that our house will look like a constant culinary catastrophe.  

This is just a video of the twirls playing with Scarlett's fire truck.  I added it cause I know Kandy likes to see their nakey bellies!  :-)

Too bad you and dogs don't get along. There great at cleaning up toddler fid messes. Get a roomba maybe? Or maybe you should build your own.

I've noticed the twirls' hair has been fluffier in the past few posts. Are they all done with their helmets now? Some days I really have to talk myself into letting Kate feed herself... When she does it's sooo messy, but later in the day she'll crawl under her highchair and eat up everything that fell to the floor! Totally gross, but very convenient!

It is so fun to see the personality differences they are developing. They are so adorable!!

The messy eating is so annoying - hang in there!!

I need to invest in a plastic mat or something for under their chairs so when they eat off the floor it has less carpet in the food (does it count as fiber?)

I need to figure something out though cause it's going to be messy for the foreseeable future...

and yes, Snort - 10 points! You are so observant. I will post about it tonight (I'm still 4 or 5 posts behind... but I'm slowly catching up)

Try a heavy plastic tablecloth, and a Grandpa says "this too shall pass", so fun. Grandma

I like the idea of the plastic tablecloth; can shake it outside and let all the critters help themselves. What fun to see all their progress & their hair is so cute. 3 beautiful girls playing together are fun to see.
