Happy first birthday my daughters! I had been so busy and i didnt have time to update on their milestones.
Ok. Bianca took her first step when she was about 10 turning 11 months old and she has chosen walking as an official mode of transportation on June 11, 2015 (age 11 months and 18 days old). She has walked steady everyday she has mastered her walking as of now (July 20).
In terms of communication, she has achieved the milestone very well. I am figuring out the words that she has spoken but I might not cover them all cos she's been saying so many words.

OMG I cant believe I cant list them all.. ok i gotta come back and complete the list.
anyway, she has 5 teeth (central two upper incisors and two lower incisors, plus one lower premolar) and the laterals are about to erupt very soon. What else? she has been super duper cute! she's very smart, she learns things very fast. she could pick things up and give them to other people as instructed. She uses her fingers very well and she loves picking tiny lil things from the floor and show them to me.
BONITA!!
After Bianca decided to walk, on that day, Bonita decided to stand up unsupported! She must have learned she her sister travels way faster than crawling on four lol. after a few attempts to stand up, Bonita took her first step a few days after her birthday and she has been practicing walking very hard. As of now, she is still alternating between walking and crawling but we started to see her on two more often that on four.

Bonita loves the balls so much. She started to toss the ball to me and grandma when she was about 8 months old and she could control the direction of the ball very well, too. Funny how I think of Bianca the dog and how much she was crazy for the ball.
Bonita has a funny habit of pooping behind a sofa and sometimes behind a curtain and she would signal Umm! every time she'd finished pooping .. lol.
Btw, both girls have stopped their night feeding. Bonita mostly slept through the night without a fuss, and would get up at 5 in the morning for one feeding and went back to sleep til 7 in the morning. Bianca on the other, slept through the night. Her night terror has got better, she still woke up quite often during the night but she managed to go back to sleep on her own. *love*
