Places to go

Stair climbing? What's the big deal? They are 14 months and only now climbing stairs?

The big deal is that as of yesterday Andrew had not climbed one stair. He was not interested in climbing the stairs at all. He was content to play on the first stair and go no further.

Mallory would get on the first step and sit there and do nothing. We hadn't put a gate at the bottom of the stairs cause they weren't interested.

This morning I was getting ready and I heard them playing in another room. I went to check on them and they were both almost to the top of the stairs.

Yesterday - not one stair. Today - the top of the stairs.

Bedtime Buddies

All clean and all ready for bed

The toddler years...

are definitely here.

Miss M. might me making up for lost time.

She was the easiest baby.

She may not be the easiest toddler.

Good thing she is so dang cute ;-)

A stander and a crawler

M is finally pulling herself up on everything.

She has the skill to walk soon - but not the confidence.

She has a look of fear on her face as soon as she looses balance, even slightly.

A is finally showing signs of crawling in the near future.

He is totally mobile - on his bum.

He literally sits on his bum and scoots wherever he needs to go.

He too is pulling himself up - but I am more impressed with his potential crawling.

Teeth

Miss M. decided she'd like to have some teeth for her 13th month.

She also decided she'd like ALL FOUR front teeth to come in

at the same time.

Mom & Dad did not have the same preference.

What about Mr. A, you ask?

He only has SIX

Four on top

Two on the bottom

Thankfully they have been coming in one at a time since December.

Sharing is Caring

M would sit and hold that blanket all day if I would let her. Every now and again A needs a little blanket/binky love too.

M was not feeling well earlier this week and I was happy to let herhave her blanket, binky AND watch TV, just so she'd stop whining/crying ;-(

They (well, A) are happy to share the blanket if there is only one laying around. M would rather not share and would prefer to be holding two of her blankets at the same time!
