It's been along time since I posted anything new. No excuse from me tho, I have time.. maybe it's just laziness.
My biggest trials with the Twins now is Chris has become almost abusively dominate over Abby. If she is standing by our sliding back door looking out the window and he wants to stand where she is standing, he will literally push her down whether it be by shoving her aside or putting his hand over her face and shoving her backwards. He also will not allow her to have toys. she has to hide most times so she can play with a toy so he doesn't slap it out of her hand so he can have it. We do try to correct this by sitting in the room with them and showing him nice versus mean, how to share and not to hit or push. I try showing more attention to him, I try everything I think I should in order to get my point across. He just Can not grow up being a bully. I can not and will not allow it. So I'm going to read up on some techniques and try those as well.
They are both walking now. Abby is stiff legged it's so cute my lil robot. Chris is galloping across the room. they are not talking. They have no interest in it at all. We talk to them all day long, make sounds with them and sing to them.. we have read books to them etc.. just no interest. I know they will talk someday. I just hear some parents saying their children are talking already or that their kids walked 3-4 months before mine did. Can I really use the excuse that Preemies start things later than others?
Here are some pictures of my cutie pies. I'll try and post more pictures and stuff soon.

Oh, they are so cute!!! And they've gotten so big! :)
Sorry about the bully thing. This is such a hard age as well because well, kids at this age don't listen so well. I also try to correct behaviors I see in my kids, and sometimes it feels so futile. I hope this situation gets better.
Yes, milestones. I've come to learn everyone hits them at different times. My Scarlett will be 1 in 2 weeks and she babbles a lot, but hasn't even come close to saying mama. And she's still a good 2 months away from walking, even though I know kids who have walked before they were 1. I just try to take it in stride and not worry too much.
Love your blog and your wedding looked fabulous! :) As for Chris trying to dominate his sister, you should have a zero tolerance policy for that kind of behavior. If at anytime he hits/kicks his sister or grabs her belongings, put him inside a playpen for a 1-2 min time out. Explain to him why he is on a time out. Afterwards, he should apologize to his sister and hug/kiss her. If you consistently do this each and every time he tries to dominate her, he will stop within a week. If you let him get away with it even once, he will continue to test your disciplinary boundaries and try to dominate her. Anyways, that's what worked for my twins! Good luck. :)
