Happy Monday!
This post is super delayed. The girls turned 2 on April 16th, but life got very chaotic and I got behind on blog posts. I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile, so better late than never!
If you missed Meredith and Natalie’s previous monthly updates, you can catch up HERE.
Meredith
Weight/Length: She is 25 pounds, 2 ounces and 34.8 inches long.
Clothing Size: 2T!
Likes: Meredith is our risk taker, very curious girl. She turns everything upside down and tries to figure out how it works and she’s the first one to try new things. She has escaped the baby gate a few times and is working on escaping her crib. She also loves books and reading.
Dislikes: Hates diaper changes. She also gets very upset if mommy leaves the room or she can’t see me.
Milestones: So many in the last year! She started walking at 13 months and all of her teeth have come in. She went to the dentist for the first time and experienced her first snow. She is saying several words and understanding so much more than she can say. And as of May 9, 2021, she is a big sister!
Natalie
Weight/Length: She is 26 pounds, 9 ounces and 35.2 inches long.
Clothing Size: 2T
Likes: Natalie is our sweet, animal loving, more introverted girl. It takes her awhile to warm up to new people and situations but once she does, she is so sweet. She loves animals and her favorite word is “puppy”. She is also a total daddy’s girl! She has been since the moment she came out of the womb.
Dislikes: Hates diaper changes. She is also starting to get very opinionated about the clothes/shoes/jackets she wears and who puts them on her. Some days she only wants daddy to get her dressed, which is challenging when he’s at work haha.
Milestones: So many in the last year! She started walking at 13 months and all of her teeth have come in She had her first dentist appointment and experienced her first snow. She is also saying several words and is such a good helper. And as of May 9, 2021, she is a big sister!
Both Girls
Sleep: Great overall! We transitioned to 1 nap around 16 months and the girls are currently taking about a 2 hour nap each day and sleeping about 12 hours at night.
Food/Eating: They are great eaters! They eat most everything we give them or at least try it. They do have their picky days or days they don’t eat great, but I have the motto of “if they’re hungry, they will eat” so I try not to worry about it too much.
Schedule: They wake up between 7-7:30AM each day. We eat breakfast and play during the morning, then they eat lunch around 11AM. They take a nap from 12-2ish and have a snack and play when they wake up. Dinner is around 5PM and we start their bedtime routine around 6. They are usually in bed by 7PM and they talk and play for awhile before falling asleep.
Mom and Dad: Chris and I are doing well! This last year with the girls has been so fun. They have changed so much and it’s hard to comprehend how fast they’re growing, I can’t believe they are 2! Life has been incredibly busy over the last several months. Chris and I both have full time jobs, we are raising twin toddlers, and we welcomed our son on May 9, 2021. Life is officially totally crazy now, but we are thankful every day! I can’t wait to see how different life looks next year when the girls turn 3!
It is such a joy being Meredith and Natalie’s parents. They are such sweet, happy girls and we are thankful for them every day!
Stay tuned next week for their brother’s one month update! Every body is growing around here!
