Boy are we having fun!






Elise now has 5 teeth and weighs 22 pounds and is at 28". This month, she finally started pushing herself to sitting and crawling on her hands and knees. She loves to stand holding on to things, but she can't figure out how to get down so when she doesn't want to stand any more she starts to scream. Sometimes she'll accidentally sit down and this makes her scream, too. She is really sick and tired of Linnaea using her to pull up on and crawl over, and those two things will also make her scream. She entertains herself extremely well and will play with all of her toys for hours without needing anything.




Linnaea has 6 teeth and weighs 19 pounds and is at 29". She can stand on her own for long periods of time, and will bounce and play with things while standing. She has taken single steps once or twice. As stated above, she loves to stand up and crawl over anything, particularly Elise. She is definitely the most fearless and bravest, for as she stands and crawls she still falls a lot but hardly ever cries about it. She constantly babbles and makes happy noises.




They both love to walk to the park and swing, and it is an easy activity that takes up about an hour and they are happy the whole time. They have started eating Cheerios and they LOVE them. No one ever told me Cheerios are magic and that they make babies happy and quiet while parents eat dinner!
