It works! Don't know why we haven't tried it before. We started leaving them in their cribs around 6:30pm. They cry for about 30 mins and then fall asleep. They are sleeping much better this way, waking up fewer times at night, even then, they are going back to sleep themselves. It works during the day too, makes the days a lot less stressful.

Fri morning I brought them both in to the living room and started making their oat meal. They were unusually quiet, came back and checked up on them - Shruthi was busy dumping a cup of tea on my cell phone, which wasn't designed to be doused with cold chai;) And Vennela was busy pulling down the toilet paper in the bathroom, can't leave them out of sight for even a single minute.

Both babies are standing up and sitting down on their own. It already started, both going for whatever the other has;) We are letting them fight it out, for now, don't know what else we can do.

Went to National Cathedral's annual flower mart on Sat. It was fun, lots and lots of kids and activities for kids. Kids got free baloons, so they were happy.

Tomorrow is their 1st b'day! They are big girls now, one year olds!
