We're Getting Bigger and Stronger!

When you work with babies there is always constant change and development.  One day they are learning to smile and the next they are running across the room to you.  I'll share just a few examples from the last few months...
Here at the center, with so many children living together, we have constantly struggled to help our children develop properly.  Usually they are at least a month or so behind "normal" development.  But we have two gorgeous baby girls who are right on schedule.  They are healthy, happy, and now sitting and crawling all around!
This is Silvia...at 6 months old...sitting up like a pro!
 This is Cacilda...she has the same birth date as Silvia...and only a month later at 7 months they are both "crawling" all over the Bercario (or Nursery)!  They will go fetch any toy you want as long as they are in the mood!
 
Jeremias, another baby who lives in the Bercario, is quite the lazy little one.  But, he has finally at 8 months old learned to sit up on his own.  Now whether he chooses to use his new talent is a completely minute by minute decision on his part!
Next comes the twins, Amelia and Maria.  Do you remember when they looked like this June of last year?
Now they are over a year old and making visits to the Baby House daily.  They will soon be moving residence and become permanent members of our Baby House!  Cute little stinkers...they are also taking their first steps on their own!  So fun!

Igor has already made the transition from the Bercario (nursery) to the Baby House.  It took him a few days to cope but now he is absolutely loving the constant attention from older children!  He is the youngest member of the Baby House and the only one who can't walk at the moment.  It's quite funny to see all the other kids try to help him do EVERYTHING!
My parents always said they tried to sit on my head but I still got taller...where did the time go?  I'm thinking the same thing with all these little guys.  They are growing up before my eyes, but they are SO cute along the way!
