Almost 1 1/2 Years Old!! 17 Months Old!

The sweet babies are 17 months old!! They are growing so fast and become more like little girls and not babies! I am not sure how it is possible that they are almost one and a half! That seems crazy!

1. The girls are growing and Adalyn is still taller and weighs more than Amelia. I think they are in the 18-20 pound range, but I will have to check. Today I measured them on the wall and it looked as if Adalyn is only 1/2 inch taller than Amelia!

2. They are wearing size 3 diapers and I have moved them up to size 18 months shirts in hope they will last through fall. They still need a 12 month pant/short, but in some brands 18 months is working perfectly! Both of them are growing!! It looks like we will be heading to get some new shoes soon too. Their feet are getting bigger! I think they are up to 4.5!

3. Bottle? Ha. They really do not want any more bottles and that is ok because they are getting too old for them. They do enjoy a nice warm milk right away in the morning if there isn't too much going on, but a sippy cup is now their BFF.

4. Trouble. They find themselves in a lot of trouble. Climbing, messing up puzzles, climbing, stealing toys from each other. They are wild women!

5. The eating is still the same. Adalyn could out eat Jayden and Amelia is getting better at eating. They love potatoes, beans, cheese, cereal, pancakes....well they love a lot!

6. Poor Amelia is cutting teeth this week and it hurts. Her nose is stuffy, her gums are swollen and she is just not happy. I hope more teeth pop through soon. They have taken long enough!

7. They love the bath, but Adalyn is still the swimmer. Amelia likes to get out first so she can go explore other places around the house. Ad would play all night if we let her. Both were brave this past month and took steps in the lake. They did great!

8. Sleep!! They are starting to stay up a bit later and sleep in a little extra in the mornings. Jayden's ball games last until 8 two nights a week, so they have been getting into the habit of an 8:30 bedtime. We will have to slowly move that back up to 8 in July. Adalyn is our sleeper. She loves naps. Amelia likes to be up and exploring!

9. They jibber and jabber. Sometimes you can really hear clear words such as Adalyn yelling for Amelia. They have the basic words down. Amelia is a bit more brave when it comes to trying out new words. She just says them first try!

10. I am looking forward to summer spending it with the three Acree kids. They are going to wear me out, but that's ok. That is what nap time is for!

We love you babies!!
