Where did October go...?

This month has been a whirlwind. Early this month, I flew to California for my first work trip since the kids were born. I had a little anxiety about leaving, but I quelled it with retail therapy at a great mall in Orange County. And, less than 24 hours after I returned, Derek headed to NYC for a friend's wedding. For 1.5 weeks, we were strangers in the night.

Now, the family is home together. Last week, we celebrated my 29th birthday. (The last one that I am celebrating!) We took the kids out to a restaurant. For the first time, they sat in highchairs at the table. They had a wonderful time and were very well behaved. Thanks for the great present kids!!! I am a bit of a germ-a-phobe, though. I gasped when I saw Lila licking the table!

The kiddos are making great progress every day. I am proud to report that Lila was the first to climb the stairs. Of course, Addie and Will were only about 5 minutes behind. Addie can stand on her own but topples sometimes when she realizes that she is on her own. She will take assisted steps. We are getting close. Will and Lila will probably be several weeks behind Addie. The physical therapist reported that Will and Lila still have the "toe curl" reflex, which interferes with balance. I will report more from our Early Intervention appointment in the next post. For now, I am off to the spa!
