This Labor day weekend we (actually Jackie) bring you the activities of the Wetzel girls. First, the twins have been practicing arm and leg movements. The are also doing a few minutes of tummy time on the playmat. Here, Miranda (on the left) and Cate (on the right) grunt and drool as they build their crawling muscles.
Below, Cate demonstrates an advanced move as she combines reaching for a plastic toy and a 45 degree head lift on her tummy. In the new rule of scoring in the baby gym, her moves have a possible score of 7.5 for a 3 month old. (Yes, Mommy watched too many gymnastic competitions in the summer Olympics) You can see Miranda's elbow as she also works out.
Miranda shows off her newly strengthened neck muscles. Note, she is holding her head up by herself and not touching Mommy's face. Very handy as she looks for other stimulation than Mommy catching up on email and surfing the web.
Finally, no blog posting is complete without news from Erika. Erika has been doing potty training this past week with panty days. She is doing great using the toilet for both potty and poopy. Yeah! Here she demonstrates that anything can be worn as a hat, even panties. This continues a family potty-training tradition started by Maura and may be continued by the youngest siblings.
