10 Months

Zadie and Lia are 10 months old now. They weigh approximately 21 lbs (Zadie) and 22 lbs (Lia). Our nicknames are ZZ, Zazzy, Z, Zaz, Zazzle, Zadie Bop, LiLi, LoLo, Lo, LoLi, Biggy, and Leelers.

Zadie is crawling on all fours. Lia has very little desire to take this move toward crawling. She would much prefer stand up, so she makes attempts to crawl, but stiffens her legs as if to stand which doesn't work so well. She then gets frustrated and screams. When Lia is happy she is very very happy and fun. But when Lia is mad, she lets the entire world know with a terrible scream. She has recently developed quite a separation anxiety though some of this may be attributed to being sick. It seems she wants Mom all the time when she doesn't feel well. Zadie is typically a charmer. She flirts with everyone, making cute little faces with a scrunched up nose. That said, she's a total wimp when she doesn't feel well. She whines and pouts if there is anything wrong--ie teeth. 

Both girls started daycare when G-Ma left. True to their personalities, Zadie sat down and started playing immediately. She smiles and plays peekaboo with everyone, claps during chapel, and generally complies. Lia was carried out of chapel because she was screaming the first day. Since then she has done much better, but still clutches Daddy everyday he goes to drop them off. 

The girls are a delight and bring attention everywhere we go.
