Little Individuals

They say every baby follows his/her own book on development. Twins are certainly no exception. While Ryan focuses on achieving one milestone, Lucie works on something completely different. Lately Lucie found her fist and loves to suck on it. We can tell she's searching for her thumb, but can't quite find it yet. Ryan is working on grabbing - when we put a rattle in his little fingers, he can hold on tight to it for several minutes.

They are both developing the muscles needed to sit up. I used to sit them in the boppy and they would stare happily at the ceiling. Now they flex their little ab muscles, executing their "baby cruches", and try to pull their heads up towards a seated position.

Here Ryan and Lucie relax after a particulary tough morning workout of growing.
