Have been for while not writing any growth journal for my lovely twins Vicky and Justin,  

Pacifier is Vicky security object. She does not care what kinds and size it is, as long as she saw it, she can crawl all the way to grab it and put it on her mouth. Occasionally, pacifier is on Justin's mouth, Vicky will take it out and put it back to her own mouth. If there is the other one, she will hold it on her hand. It always ends up with none for Justin, and Justin no longer has any interest on pacifier. He loves mobile, he turned his head all the way to the direction when mobile just passed by. He loves remote control, he always switched it to the channels/programs that grandparents or me can not adjust back, while we have to ask help from daddy, the other favorite for Justin is phone, once he bit his dads cell phone, the battery is out of work because of too much goggling, he always excited when he heard phone ring, he tried to get the phone and push every button until phone fell though. like to look at books and leaf through the pages, though they won't always turn them one by one. They Indulge in great picture books, like pigs and bears which Jane's son Eric gave it to them. 

They both

This weekend we are going to Virginia beach, they will love ocean, beach, sand......

They both

Growing physical independence

Only half month shy of their first birthday, they are no longer a helpless infant who can't do anything without us. Especially, Vicky can walk very well when I gripped her two hands two months ago, now she can walk pretty steadily when one hand is gripped. Start a few days ago, she can stand without any support for almost 20 seconds. Justin can not have his solo standing, but he can climb 7 or 8 step stairs though our stairs are pretty steep, Vicky can only climb 3-4 steps of stairs. Vicky has been very indecently since she was born, she does not like being hold for a long when she fell asleep, she likes to feed herself for some snack rather than feeding by others, She can play by herself for a long time and she is lead for her one-minute younger brother Justin. They both develop their own minds, they become very upset when we did something against it. They love playing water in the bath, Justin keep hitting water by his hand and split the water all over the ground, this sometime makes Vicky freaky and tries to get out of the bath tub. Though it is not often as before, Justin bite her dad very bad a few times on his shoulder, Justin bite her grand-day finger last night, making grand dad screaming.... He still has eight teeth, pretty big 4 teeth on both upper and lower side, we sometime called him "da bai ya" by making fun of him, he always replied with sunny and naive smile.
