Wow, it seems like forever that I have had a chance to sit down and just think about how much the kids have changed and how fast they are growing. There is not a lot of baby left and more and more toddler each day.
While she has been taking a half dozen steps at a time, it wasn't really until last weekend that Emaleigh really started walking instead of crawling. We had gone to my parents house on Saturday and went outside to play in the grass. Emaleigh did NOT like crawling in the grass. It really forced her to walk instead. After that, she just took off. She is gaining confidence every day.
Both kids love music. Emaleigh dances and sings along. Yes, she SINGS! I heard her for the first time yesterday. She talks all of the time, but this was different. She had tone to her voice! It was great! Derek likes it when there is music playing. It seems to keep him more relaxed. He also likes to make his own music on their 2 pianos, banging on anything that resembles a drum or anything else that plays or makes music.
Emaleigh is already a girly girl. She loves to talk on the phone, try on shoes and clothes, and accessorize. Her first word was "Hi". It almost seems like she was "talking" into my keys (her phone!) at the time. It took me a while to figure out that she was using them as her phone!
Derek is a true boy. He loves to climb anything that won't tip over and even some things that will! We had to buy a different gate for the bottom of the stairs. The one we had he was able to climb up on and almost over, so we had to get one that was solid so he couldn't get as high! He still tries to climb it though.
Both kids have learned how to wave, say "ba" (which means bye, bottle, and ball!), blow kisses, and now "Give 5". Where they picked that last one up is a mystery. We don't do it at home, so they must have gotten it from daycare. It surprised me the other day when I was holding my hand out to Derek and he started hitting it! I took my hand away and then put it back out saying "Give me 5". He hit it again! I was stunned. It was so cool!
Anyway, here is a cute little clip of the two of them that I took tonight. Enjoy!!
