Mama's Prediction...

has come true!

For about 3 weeks, EH has seriously been interested in the idea of walking! About a week ago, he started taking a few "one" step-steps, but I didn't count those. I predicted he would do it by the end of the month and yesterday I was "losing hope," but about 15 minutes ago, he took 11 steps!!! January 31: 13 months, 2 days old!

What is cute and funny to me, is that AK took her first steps in what was not yet EH's room and he took his first steps in her room!

No pics or video yet. You really think I'm that organized? :) I'm still trying to load a video of them in their matching pajamas...

Up, up and away

Two or three nights ago, I had a dream that EH climbed the stairs and did a somersault over the gate.

Today he did it! Minus the somersault, of course. :)

Firsts on the First

Happy New Year 2012!

Pardon the graphics:

I told AK I would no longer be cleaning out the little blue potties in the "new year" and told her she would be using the Big Potty on Sunday, January 1. In her usual fashion, she understood and repeated the information days ahead. When she received confirmation that today was Sunday, she proclaimed that she would be going poop on the Big Potty. Ah, mission accomplished!

We believe we can say that EH has a first word! He says "hi" or "eye", accompanied by a wave! He is also trying to say "uh-oh," but it comes out so funny as "uh-uh-uh" with an accompanying grimace. So cute.
