(from 11/9) I had taken Addy and her stander out on the new patio to test it out. She very happily got a good head of steam going and launched herself off the edge and into the grass. Once I helped her get unstuck from the grassy slope, she did really well rolling through the lumpy, slightly muddy yard.
(from 11/10) It turns out that Nora is a paci baby. I've just been too sleep deprived until now to remember that (a) we have pacis and (b) she might suck on one instead of nursing for hours on end.
(from 11/14) Addy is a very creative soul and is just getting into the phase where anything and everything can be a hat, including a foam floor mat piece with a number 8 cut out of the middle.
Nora has also been pretty cute lately, and is sometimes actually awake in between feedings.
(from 11/17) Addy got a Princess Ariel doll for her birthday and was sad when her AFOs didn't fit on the doll. So I made some doll-sized braces out of a wrapping paper tube. (I need to pick up some butterfly stickers to decorate them to look more like Addy's braces.)
Then, Addy took the rest of the tube, put it to her lips, blew air through it, and declared herself "Makin' music in a band."
