Dear babes --

Susan and Theresa were at the house for OT and PT this week.  Grace, you are not only crawling around (mostly backwards, just starting to crawl forward too) but now you are attempting to stand by putting your rear in the air like doing a push up.  William is looking at you and we are working with him to help him  roll around.  Mommy asked that PT be intensified for you, William, so you can get the hang of rolling around more quickly so we will see Theresa more frequently.

Elizabeth's Mom sewed you both awesome tied dyed fleece jackets and soft balls and knitted sweaters and squares.  She is so talented and it was very sweet of her to make you both goodies.  We cannot wait for you to wear your sweaters -- William, your sweater is blue with toggle buttons and Grace, yours is a mixed color of off white and pink with clear buttons.  The balls and squares are great to have on the floor for when you both are sitting just in case you wobble over -- the balls and squares cushion your crash!

William, you had a suspicious bruise on your leg below your knee.  It was oblong and a bit lumpy so we decided to visit the clinic just to be sure it was a minor situation (and it was).  You had a surface bleed which explains why it did not seem tender to the touch.  Anyway, with the move happening the next day, Mommy decided to not take any chances.  Elizabeth and Grace joined us for the visit and Dr Hamilton recommended that we buy tennis terry cloth wrist bands for your knees and legs.  They are wonderful buffers and allowed your leg to heal with no factor!

Move day was Friday and it went pretty well.  We planned to move you both over to the new house before your morning nap but you wanted to nap early so thank goodness we had not disassembled the cribs.  We hurriedly moved everything out of your room except the cribs and the movers were extremely quiet while moving boxes and furniture on the second floor.  By 6pm the movers finished and left us with boxes and packing paper everywhere!

We love your smiley faces,

Mommy and Dada
