December 2009 - February 2010

Hello all! This blog posting is long overdue. (We even have some Christmas photos included). The girls are officially 18 months and are absolutely amazing. Meera has made incredible improvements with her gross motor skills - she is now pulling herself up and cruising well. She has ankle supports that help stabilize her, and fingers crossed, she will be walking soon. She continues to be a ham and cracks up frequently. Both girls are becoming very polite and say/sign "please" and "thank you." Emma is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. I still have one day off a week, so I am able to do weekly PT appts with Meera and meet Ashwini and her twin sons, Shaunak and Ved (and sometimes Sanaya too) at the museum. Erick has a few months left of his first year of residency, and so far we have survived pretty well. We have been swimming on the weekends, which the girls seem to love. And as I am sure you can see, they both still love to eat. I am going to try to post a few links to videos as well. 

love, Nat
