The Girls: 4.5 months and 19 months

I wanted to dedicate a post to what the girls are doing at this stage so I can remember down the road.

Ryleigh:
*She rolled over back to stomach for the first time yesterday at 20 weeks. She has yet to roll back to stomach which I believe is the easiest roll. We'll keep working on it...she's not a huge fan of tummy time.
*She's been on rice cereal for about 3 weeks now and is doing great...imagine that, she likes food:) I plan to introduce some veggies in the next few weeks.
*She has great hand/eye coordination and has been holding and reaching for objects for a while now.
*She is sleeping through the night (8pm-7am) and takes 3 2 hour naps and a 30-45 minute late evening catnap. Her waketime is around 1.5 hours after each feeding.
*I'm still nursing her but often she gets a bottle with some formula mixed in because my plan is to only bf another month or so.
*She has the cutest giggle and loves to watch her Big Sister and Buster
*I am swaddling her but with her arms out now since she started rolling over...hoping to drop swaddle completely in the next few weeks.


Hannah:
*She loves Barney or "Bar-Bar"...if the TV is on she expects "Bar-Bar" to be on too.
*She also loves to sing and dance. Her favorite songs are "Hot Dog Song", "Barney Song", "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "ABC's", "Twinkle, Twinkle" and pretty much anything that Barney sings.
*Her vocabulary has really taken off...she says a new word every day it seems and will repeat whatever you say. She's started putting word together and making phrases. Most popular words: no, Bar-Bar, Ry Ry (Ryleigh), holds you, kisses, I'm sawry, car, ray rays (raisins), juice, poopy, and all family members
*Her bedtime is 8pm and she usually sleeps until 7:30am with a morning and afternoon nap. I am hoping to transition to one afternoon nap in the next week or so. She still sleeps with a pacifier, her lion, a blanket, Pillow Pet and Womb Sounds Bear...yeah, it's a lot!
*Favorite Toys: Pink Princess Coupe, a scary kitty cat piano, purse, and all of her sippy cups. She likes to get them all out of the cabinet and set them up in a line.
*She has so much personality...too much sometimes. She is reprimanded often but seems to be "getting it".
*She loves to brush her teeth, "bath time, bath time", climbing the stairs, and chasing Bubba (Buster)
