Abby, you have been nominated chief of the shoe police. Mom came home today after Church and took her shoes off by the door. You saw what she had done and immediately started crying, ran over and picked up her shoes and chased her into the kitchen to make her put them back on.
Alex, you like to stuff you mouth full of bananas. That’s what you had for breakfast today. You filled your cheeks up like a chipmunk. It turned out to be a good thing, because you had to breathe out of your nose so all of your snot came out and got wiped away.

Walking and Door Knobs
Alex, you started walking today. You have taken as many as 3 or 4 steps during the past couple weeks, but today you have been walking all the way across the room. Last night you were having a lot of fun running back and forth along the couch, laughing all the way. Your sister beat you by walking three days earlier (or younger) than you did. She walked 7 days after her birthday, on April 4th. Today is 10 days after your birthday.
Abby, your learned how to open the front door yesterday. You had a lot of fun going in and out. One time you went out and didn’t come back in. I went out after you to find you going down the sidewalk with your stroller. We spent awhile outside while you walked up and down the street. We went across the street and met up with Curtis Peterson and Johnny. Johnny was pushing his lawn mower and you and he went walking off down the sidewalk.
Mommy gets in bug to re-arrange furniture every now and again. She decided to rearrange your room, but you were not too happy about that. When she would move something you would go after it and try to move it back to where it was saying, “NO, Mom!”. You were very adamant when mom tried to put your bed underneath the window. You wouldn’t be pacified until she moved your bed into the corner. Then you jumped into bed and kicked your legs, excited that you got your way.

Cute Kids
Your mom brought you home a lip stick. You loved it. You like to suck on lids, which you did with your lipstick lid, until you lost it. The lipstick worked like a large ball point pen. You sucked on the lipstick until the ball came off. Next thing I know, you came over to me with your finger in your mouth trying to reach down your throat. You opened your mouth to show me and pointed down your throat. You grabbed my hand and wanted me to try and get it for you. Of course, it didn’t work, but you were pretty funny for being the first time that you swallowed something.
You can now say, “let’s go”, “pillow”, “all done”, and “shoe”.
You like to take off your diaper even if it’s just wet. You made a mess on your floor. On the 10th, which is Mom’s B-day, we went up to Dan and Stephanie Saxey’s for Elli’s baby blessing. You took your diaper off there in Brayden’s bedroom. You were trying to put on one of Ellie’s newborn diapers. Thankfully you didn’t get anything on the floor, especially since their carpet is so white.
You and Alex have both discovered that there is water in the toilet and likely you have both enjoyed playing in it as well as putting things in it, like Mom’s jewelry. She had to reach in the toilet to get it.
You like to jump now. Most of the time you don’t get off the ground, but just yesterday you got at least an inch.
Alex. You haven’t walked yet. Your sister walked one week after her first birthday. That means you have until the 14th to beat your sister. You can stand really well. You can even dance. You can take about 3 steps before you fall over, or before you get so excited that you lose your balance. After that, you think it’s a game and when we try and stand you up, you bounce up and down.
Abby, you are really particular. You like to put you shoes on yourself. You like to walk by yourself and go down the stairs by yourself (meaning that you don’t like us to hold your hand). You like to do as much as possible by yourself. And you love to help out. You like to help do the dishes or anything else that your Mom is doing.
Alex, you are very easy going. You are usually content to just sit, watch and enjoy. You are quick to smile. You like to have fun. You like to yell and jump around. You also like to throw your head into the couch. Or if you sitting on the floor and you get upset you like to bang your head on the floor. Once, when you were playing on our bed, you hit your head on the wall. We thought you might be hurt. Instead, you just banged your head again. You like to be held when you have just woken up. You are a lot more cuddly than you sister. You like to be held and lay your head on our shoulders.
