(Orli looking into the bathtub plug knob)Zev and Orli are really starting to understand more of their world. They know when you say "Kitty" and they look around on the floors for the cats.
This week Orli began to point, we don't know if she's aware that she is pointing, but she will just put her little pointer finger out and put in the direction of mommy or the kitty. It was also a pretty interesting week watching how mobile she is. She can now hold on to the coffee table and transfer to your knee while still standing. She will also crawl up to you and stand up by holding on to your pants.
Zev does some pretty interesting screeches from his highchair. He can hit wavelengths that hurt your ears. He's also mastered the closed lipped smile, he's especially good at this when you are trying to get him to laugh so you can spoon a glob of food that he doesn't particularly like in his little mouth. A very smiley refusal. This week he has managed to scoot backward on his belly. It gets very frustrating for him because the object he wants is in front of him and he keeps pushing himself farther and farther from it. One night he went about 6 to 7 feet on his own on his belly. He can't quite pull himself up the way Orli is so mobile, but he tries and Orli will use him to climb if he gets in the way. They each have had some bumps this week, one of which daddy caught on camera of Zev as he lost his balance, he was fine but the "thud" was very loud.
This week the kids have been better at going to bed earlier. Around 9-10 as opposed to 10-12 before. We think it could be that we started dinner a lot earlier. They still get up a few times to cry, sometimes they can get right back to sleep.
Also this week they took their first big bath tub bath together. It was so cute, Zev loves a bath, he just slaps the water and kicks his legs while seated so that he scoots right across the tub, splashing and smiling. Orli was getting splashed in the face because of him and had to cough out some water. She was crawling around the tub while he was scooting. It was a two adult job.
Oh I almost forgot, yesterday we noticed a white nub on Orli's upper gum, she's getting her third tooth. This whole teething thing is new to us, we can't really differentiate between tired, hungry, wants the remote and you won't let them have it cranky baby from teething baby.
