We took out the lessons.  They've just become too easy.  Instead, throughout the day we work on things like talking, object recognition, and sign language. Our big thing to work on this week is holding their own bottles. They still need a little help.  

Charli Kate:  CK has taken a few steps when passed between two people, but she hates it and ends up

                    crying.  She's adding new words every day.  She can say the duck, Desi (the cat's name), teeth,

                    juice and now we are working on done.  She's taken a cue from her brother and started army

                    crawling all over the house.

Adrik:  Adrik is now an army crawl pro.  He can get just about everywhere and tries to get into just about

           everything.  He is so daring, he ends up hurting himself all the time.  He currently has a bruise just

           under his eye and one on his cheek from two separate incidences.  He is not interested at all in

           learning to talk or recognizing objects by their names.  I think he just doesn't have a very good

           attention span. 

Tali:     Tali is still completely against being on her stomach, but she loves recognizing objects by name and

           usually tries to prompt me in playing the game with her.  She especially loves to point out facial

           features while she tries to rip them off your face.  She is picking up talking; I think Charli Kate is

           influencing her, but she has troubles remembering the words.  

Its amazing how they can pick up things from one another.  They've started fighting for my attention, but all in all, things are well here.
