Baby E- 11 months
He is walking~ taking 5 to 10 steps and stopping for a break, or going back to crawling. He babbles so much!! He loves to sit in the little chairs around the house (all of which STILL seem so big in comparison to him). He is back to not sleeping through the night, and we've started a second (or third?!?) attempt at sleep training. Sigh! He loves to eat sweet potatoes, and LO gives him her chocolate chip cookies (such a good share-er :P) which he eats so very happily. He has a signature Buzz Lightyear pose that I love (and that is actually in one of these pictures below!). He has finally contracted the Mamitis virus that LO seemed to have been born with. Part of me is actually kind of happy and relieved. He loves to play with cars and anything with a screen or buttons. He likes to dance, and shakes his head in the same way that he "dances" whenever he is excited about something. Or he jumps. He kind of propels himself upwards with his legs (though not actually jumps) with excitement. It's super cute. He happily but decidedly drops everything and anything at 4.30 when Daddy comes home to go demand that he pick him up and carry him till 5pm. haha!
LO- 3 years old
She is my Princes E these days. She loves snuggles and books, dress-up and tea parties. She calls her Monkey "Momey" which sounds a lot like "Mommy" to me. She's starting to put together little conversations (are you okay? yes, I'm okay, thank you. Oh okay! or OoOOoo it's a shadow. How scary. Oh, it's gone. Where did it go? There it is! Go hide!) and is starting to learn to introduce herself to others (though I think she would still only practice this particular conversation with a kid or an extremely friendly adult). She is so sweet to her brother and even when he hits and pinches her or pulls her hair, she has yet to respond in kind. She takes care of him and tries to include him in her games (Baby! Come here!) except when she's building something, because he goes all Godzilla on her. She is becoming more and more social and loves hanging out with other kids her age. I think it's time for school! In the meantime, she loves going to the library and play dates and going to church. She loves to eat hot dogs, sliced apples and grapes, ice cream and cookies. She wakes up in the middle of the night to jump in bed with us. She can be seen standing by the window or trying to open the door when she knows Daddy is coming home.
It is so interesting to see how their personalities are developing! Thanks for sharing. I feel like my kids are growing and changing and saying such funny things that I couldn't remember it all even if I were trying to follow them around with a notebook and pen.
