Started taking them walks early in the morning. It's quiet nice in the mornings, a little chill in the air and all the birds out making noises. Both babies love watching the birds. We usually do a 30 min loop, give Swapna a quiet morning.

We left both of them with Robyn & Scott this afternoon, for 1.5 hours, while we packed. The first time for them to be away from us. Robyn said they were fine, didn't cause any trouble, except for Vennela, who went into Farful, the puppy's cage. But as soon as we went to pick them up, Vennela threw a bigger temper tantrum, screaming, hitting her head on the floor, the whole package.

Both of them are walking really well now. Vennela loves her walker, walks all over the home with it, doesn't let poor Shruthi any where near the walker.

The biggest trouble we have now is changing their diapers. It started about a week ago. Now we need two people to change their diapers;)

In their developmental checkup, the doc said that they are doing well in every category except for their speech, she says they are at the level of 11 month olds. I guess the babies too it personally, for the past few days, they won't stop talking, blabbering away non-stop.

update

Too much stuff going on. Two more weeks before the big move, in exactly two weeks, we will be in our new home, surrounded by boxes, trying to figure out where all the stuff is and where the babies are, we are having a hard enough time keeping track of them in this small home, not sure what we will do in that big home. We will definitely miss this house, had been our home for the last 8 years.

Both babies are doing great, walking with the walker and taking small baby steps. They already had their initiation with falling down, Shruthi already scraped her knee, didn't seem to bother her much. She hasn't figured out how to turn the walker, so as soon as she hits something, she stops and starts screaming. She won't need the walker for much longer, her walking is improving every day.

Sometimes we don't know what to do with our little trouble maker, Vennela. First she figured out how to turn on the TV, then the DVD player and this morning, she somehow turned off Swapna's Cisco router, took Swapna 30 mins to get it back online;) She got three timeouts today, for hitting Shruthi. We are not sure if she is intentionally hitting Shruthi or if she is playing.

This past Sat was bad, think we set a record, Shruthi threw up three times and Vennela twice. It was all because of Swapna's infamous sambar rice. That was the first time they tried it and looks like they didn't like it at all.
