At what point do you stop counting the months? I think for Millie that time has passed but its just so easy when their "month-iversaries" fall exactly a week apart. Cam's on the 4th and Millie's on the 11th. Well they both have changed a ton so I figured now is as good a time as any to tell you about them.
For Millie: She pretend to have Mommy's milk with her babies (long after my breastfeeding ended with Camden). She's asking more and more questions. Her favorite question is "Where are we going today, Mommy?" Candy corn has been her favorite treat since Halloween. She is telling us periodically that she has to go potty. She has lots of pretend voices. She can get her own water from the refrigerator faucet and loves to fill up a couple of cups for her brother too.
For Camden: He likes to practice using a fork and spoon. Food flies everywhere! He twists bottle caps on and off. He's very good at building blocks already. Great dexterity. He stands up on his own without holding on to anything. He has taken a couple of steps at a time. He's got a singing voice. He has 7 teeth. In addition to yes, no, and eat, he signs dog, please and thank you. His first words include "Yes, stop and truck." And after 14 months, we finally realized he does have security blanket, thanks to the discovery from his Aunt Katie while babysitting them the weekend of Matt's Citadel reunion.
Just yesterday, I took Camden in for a check up. He weighs 23.5 lbs, is 32" tall and has two angry ear infections. I was especially pleased with his physician this time. She took a look at his feet because the subject of walking came up. His feet turn in severely which is the probable cause of his late development. It's called metatarsus adductus. They referred us to physical therapy for an evaluation. She said the waiting list is at least 2 months so it would be good to get on it now just in case he's not walking by then anyways. Does any one out there have any experience with this or physical therapy in general?

Hi Brooke! Thomas has pretty bad intoeing, I think it was called. He didn't walk til 15 months. Eventually it corrected itself which I think is the feeling that Dr Hutton has about most of those things? She said long ago they would have put him in braces to correct it. Maybe run it by Kristen, have you tried her? They are both so cute and growing so fast!
