new tricks

So C2 has had a very busy week. She has grown so much in her development in one week, it has been crazy. Besides starting to walk with a push toy on her own, she also has learned to pull herself up finally. She started by pulling herself to her feet on low surfaces (like a couch cushion C1 decided to put on the floor to crawl over) but by the end of the week she is now pulling herself up to the couch - and other objects. She has even scared us a couple of times by getting up unto our little kids picnic table when it is next to the couch and then continuing up onto the couch. Here's a little story about that... After church we left the kids in the family room to play while Jon and I went to change out of our church clothes. When I came back into the family room to change the kids, I found C2 on the couch and trying to crawl up the arm of the couch. I did something I shouldn't have and I ran and got the camera quickly. When I came back seconds later she was all the way up on the arm and trying to crawl unto the next couch. I quickly snapped the picture and then caught her as she fell over the side. Crazy girl! Now I'll never be able to leave her alone!


In addition to all of her new physical abilities, she is also getting closer and closer to talking. I am pretty sure she has tried saying "ball", "car", "dog", "mom", and "bye-bye". As soon as she uses them on a regular basis, I'll know that she for sure knows them and she'll have her first words! Yeah! Our 19 month old baby girl is finally starting to transition into a toddler!

Your family is adorable. It is fun that we both have 2 kids. Isn't it fun? I'm excited to have new ways to keep up with you. Where do you live now?
