Poor, forgotten blog.

It's true, as the days get longer and the Tomatoes become more and more mobile, I think less and less of blogging their trials and tribulations. It's actually pretty silly to stop blogging at this point as they are growing and changing at breakneck speeds and I can hardly remember everything they've done.

They are talking. Not sentences or infinite understandable words, but both are communicating. "More" is one of their best words. Although, in true twin fashion, they say it as differently as possible. Tabitha does the baby sign for more and Jackson says "mo" "mo". Both are absolutely adorable. They make eye contact before and after and then get this look of complete and total pride. It's perfect. Unless you knew, you'd never guess that they were born at 25 weeks. They are truly amazing.

As of last week Tabitha is cruising. Between furniture, along furniture, it is a very exciting development.

Jackson is pulling up with fury. He can do it as often as Tabitha and he gets down in the normal way, by bending his knees. Tabitha is still plopping down onto her bottom. She's gotten her technique down and rarely falls over onto her head, unless she lands on top of something and falls just so. This only happens once out of a hundred or so plops. I imagine she'll get tired of this method at some point, but I could be wrong. Luckily Jackson tried her way and much prefers the way we've shown and encouraged. We can only hope he sticks with it.

I'm working on a video of the tomatoes. It's been a long time since pictures of any sort were on this blog and I'd like to slowly change that. This video, once finished, will be the first step.

Happy Father's Day to all the daddies, granddaddies and baba-daddies out there.
