Portwell's Adventures In Parenting

Baby's First Moments

The babies are now ten months old and their personalities keep shining through each and everyday. Their solids journey is now perfect and they are even starting to copy their parents. They are the fastest crawlers and it keeps Gina and Ej on their feet quite often.

Gina: Matt get back here you silly boy *she laughs*.

Matt is quickly crawling ahead of her while Ej has Sofia up on his shoulders while he's holding her up with her arms. Gina then grabs Matt and blows him a raspberry on his tummy which made him laugh. Both of their laughs have become more strong and vocal and they are contagious so everyone ends up laughing in the end of it all. Ej then gets Sofia off his shoulders and spins around until they are both dizzy which in the end caused Sofia to spit up a little and then laugh.

Gina: Ej you know doing that makes her spit up *she fusses*.

Ej: *walking to the kitchen* it doesn't happen every time G but I''m sorry Sof *he wipes her face*.

She tries to grab the napkin from his hand and she does. Her grip is so strong that she tore a piece of the napkin which then puts Ej and Sofia in a little battle to get it out before she tries to put it in her mouth which caused Gina to bust out laughing.

Gina: That's what you get Eej for making my baby spit up. Let's see if you can beat your record of a minute and a half *she smirks*.

It takes him longer because the last time that happened was a good two months ago and both of their grips have improved since then. When Ej finally got it out of her hands they went back to playing.

Ej: So you think they can finally enjoy grass now? Like actually be able to go and enjoy the park near here. I would love to get the out some more cause even me being inside the house for too long can make me feel a bit cramped, let alone these two who have been here for months.

Gina:I wouldn't say months, they've gotten out to all of our friends houses.

Ej: They don't count G, lets take them to the park pleaassseeee *he gives her puppy eyes*.

Gina: But they already have a cute little setup in the backyard, why can't we keep them there?

Ej: Because they can't meet new baby friends from the backyard.

Gina: Is that what you're wanting? For them to make some friends at this age?

Ej: Hey look at Nini and Ricky, they've known each other since childhood and look at them now, inseparable. They deserve to socialize outside of each other, this neighborhood is filled with new families like ours. One chance is all I'm asking and plus we will there to watch them okay?

Gina: Ok fine Eej, let's set up their stroller.

Ej: Yes!

He kisses Gina on the cheek and immediately swoops up both babies to put them in their stroller. While he was buckling them up, Gina was preparing their baby bag with their snacks, milk, and water.

Gina: The moment something goes wrong we are immediately taking them back home.

Ej: What are you going to do once they start daycare *he says as they walk out the door*?

Gina: I don't know, most recommend time for babies start daycare is at a year old but I don't know if I will be ready.

Ej:I know but you're already not trusting the nanny and soon she will be starting college, then where does that leave us? Daycare Gina, it's inevitable whether you'll admit it or not.
