Payton continues to amaze me. She's been improving with her development by leaps and bounds and I "think" she's caught up by now.
As of yesterday she's rolling over from front to back AND back to front. In fact, at midnight last night for her feed I woke up to her lying face down in her bassinette (so the crib converts back today and Livy will officially be bedless since the bassinette is no longer safe for Payton).
She's also getting quite good at manipulating her soother and it won't be long before she finds it herself rather than us having to rescue it.
She had her follow up with the ENT and she still has fluid in her ears so we give it another couple of months and hope that things improve. If not tubes in her ears may be in her future.
Livy continues to grow and amaze us with her intelligence, wit and humour. Its likely she'll be the class clown if things continue with how her personality is developing. Her new favourite thing is riding the bus and whenever Payton is preoccupied, Livy and Wilma take a bus trip to the library and home again. Its Livy's highlight of the day.
We've also started teaching Livy to learn to skate. Its quite hilarious as she complains that "its too slipery". She's figured out that she needs to point them forward to make it easier but we're still working on a few of the other particulars (like standing) that makes me think next year may be a more stellar year for success on the ice.
Dwayne and I continue to juggle early mornings in Vancouver (arriving at work between 6:30-7am), exercise and the girls and while it keeps us super busy, life is pretty perfect right now.
So that's a pretty quick synapsis of what our life is like starting out 2012. We can only hope that the upcoming year brings us as much happiness and success that we have seen over the last few months.

A great start to a new year. The girls are doing so well. Miss you all so much.
Love Grandma Helen
ps Please post some videos of the girls when you can.
Way to go Payton!
I realize that this might be a bit far, but if Livy LOVES to ride transit, this might be a fun trip for her:
-Park somewhere in North Van, preferably close to the Quay.
-Seabus to downtown Vancouver
-Canada Line out to the airport
-Check out the really nifty airport display they have (overlooks the tarmac, shows different parts of the airport, displays on planes, it's really cool if you haven't seen it before!).
-Train and seabus back to North Van - Home!
It would definitely be a day trip, but Waterfront to YVR isn't very long (I think it's like, 25 minutes?), and it's in a tunnel for part of it, then above ground the rest of it.
Also, Payton is full of epic win!! :D
