12 Months in 3 days and 27 Weeks

Hello again everyone! I always feel like it hasn't been that long since I've written, but oh well! A busy few weeks to say the least! Family visiting from out of town for my dad's wedding, back at work still of course, and all kinds of fun stuff. And Naomi's been having a blast with it all! Everyone loved her dress she got to wear to Grandpapa and Grandmama's wedding - she was our blue puff-ball princess!

Naomi has gone from pro crawler, yes, still an "army" style crawl mostly, to pulling herself up to stand. She has yet to take any steps with her feet while standing but she can get up. She has found a whole new world of stuff on the coffee table, entertainment unit, and that sort of thing. And she loves the view from standing in her playpen! Of course there's a whole bunch more messes she can now make, but that's okay, mom and dad will clean it up right? And our Lily in a betta bowl may have a couple bent leaves from being tugged at...

Other than mobility Naomi has also been working on getting her vocabulary and sounds up. She can say 4 "words" now, still using, but more correctly, mama and dada but has added "wow", and "uh-oh". Very cute of course. She's loving it! She's made a few different sounds too, starting to do and "s" sound, "t" sounds, and a few other letters are starting to get in there too. Very proud of her progress!

Now the other little one...growing leaps and bounds all the time! According to the website we're subscribed to pumpkin is about 2 pounds and 14 inches long - wow! And we can definitely tell it's growing by looking at mommy's tummy! The tummy's moving around a lot more now too, pumpkin is definitely practicing acrobatics in there frequently. Still very much seeming like an easier pregnancy than Naomi, but of course Naomi also keeps mom from having time to think about it, so that may help! Although could pass on the extreme heat of the last week, that's been a bit much. Mid twenties is better than high thirties, that's for sure.

Anyhow, that's how we're all doing for now. As always, hope to write again sooner than last time!
