Spilling, Jumping and Wiggling

Sometime last week you (Abby) spilled a whole container of Cheerios on the floor. You had surrounded your self with them and couldn’t get out without stepping on them and crushing them. You were frustrated every time you stepped on one and picked up your foot and tried to brush it off. Once you finally got out of the Cheerio maze you ran to your room and put your shoes on then came right back and walked all over the Cheerios, now happy that you couldn’t feel them on your feet.

You are getting some air now when you jump. You can get off the ground about ½ inch. You go down stairs standing up now, but you won’t let us help you. You need to do it by yourself. You are getting quicker as you get more confident. You are a pretty fast runner, and since it has been warm now for spring you just love to be outside. And you shoe fetish continues. You even wore you shoes to bed last night. If you don’t wear them to bed you put them on as soon as you get up. If your mother or I take our shoes off, you go and get them or us and make us put them on.

Alex, you are quite a wiggle worm. You like to throw your body around. You seem to have a lot of fun shaking you head back and forth when you are in your high chair. Abby joins you and you both laugh. The last week you have been waking up earlier, usually around 8 a.m. You stand up and walk along the couch and even stand up in the middle of the room, but you haven’t actually started walking yet. You like to talk and you have a cute voice. I think you weight more than your sister now. We all went on a hike up to Battle creek falls and it definitely seemed that you were heavier than your sister. You two really look like twins.

Swallowing the lid – Abby was sucking on the top of a lip gloss – the lid came off and she swallowed it – she came over to me and opened her mouth pointing down her throat and trying to reach in and grab it out.

Taking off diapers – it best if we put shorts or pants on you when we put you to bed or else you would talk your diapers off.
