(Sophie-L & Ellen-R)

(Ellen-L & Sophie-R)

Ellen likes to bounce up and down when she's sitting with us at the table and eating her food. Maybe because she's the one that loves the jumperoo so much, and wishes she was there all the time? She is also more sensitive to strangers out of the two girls. She does a funny thing where she puts her arms behind her head, leans back, and then stares up at the mysterious face watching her. She has gotten better about the stranger anxiety thing, but still has it to a greater degree than Soph. Both girls drool a ton due to their age, with no teeth to boast of, but Ellen drools WAY more than Soph. And Ellen is still bigger by about 2 lbs but doesn't "talk" or babble as much as Sophie. Ellers continues to roll all over the place all the time. Sophie...she seems to be more mellow lately (this used to be reversed in the two girls) and is still content to lay on her back and suck on her two fingers. She's not as strong (or big!) as Ellen but still sits up pretty well. Sophie seems to be stuck on the letter "b" and babbles it all day long. She is also my early bird in the morning, usually the first one to wake up. Both girls eat really well--way better with the baby food than Corinne ever was. But in other ways it seems like Ellen and Sophie are reaching milestones a little later than C did. This may be because they are twins, but I find it interesting nonetheless. Ellen and Sophie are sweet babies and they bring all of us a lot of joy as we learn new things everyday about raising twins.
