What a week!

Ok, so Kate is OFFICIALLY WALKING! This past weekend she would take a few steps and fall. This morning she walked halfway across the living room. I was shocked and grabbed the video camera. I got it all on film and will post the video clips soon. I loaded all of the appropriate software and cannot figure out how to download it. This is where my computer genius husband is very handy. Well, he is sleeping, but as soon as he wakes up, I will ask for help. He is used to this.

Jill is TEETHING LIKE CRAZY! She has 2 bottom teeth and is getting all of her top ones at the same time. Nice... This has led to a few sleepless naps, plenty of crying, and lots of chewing. The poor thing bit her tongue so bad today that the tip of it is bruised and purple. She will learn soon that teeth can be painful. She is standing and trying to gain more balance which in turn leads to lots of face plants lately. Please don't be alarmed if you see a scratch or two on her. She has had a rough week!

I am transitioning from baby food to 'people' food this week. So far, it has gone well. I have learned~ albeit after making a huge pot of baby spaghetti and freezing it ~ that my gals don't like spaghetti sauce. Are you kidding me?! Jason and I both thought that maybe they just didn't like my homemade baby food. BUT I tried feeding them some Gerber Graduates spaghetti and they hated that also. My feelings are in tact and I am no longer offended by their refusal of homemade baby food. :) They LOVE peas, carrots, corn, watermelon, waffles, cheerios, just about anything bite sized. They have finally mastered the sippy cup and now spend time fighting over them.

Here are some pictures from our week!

For some crazy reason, Kate likes to suck on watermelon and spit out the rind. Lovely table manners.....

Once we noticed Kate taking a few steps this weekend, we went out and purchased a push toy to get her 'motivated'. Well, it worked. Whenever she bumps into something she hollars hoping it will magically move, or that mommy will move it.

New TOYS! Jill will chew on anything these days!

All tuckered out!

LOOK at all those teething bumps and new teeth coming in on Jill. Poor thing! My late bloomer is getting all of her top teeth at once.

Jill practicing the 'Downward Dog' position. She has been doing this a lot lately. She will get right in front of me, do the position, look at me from between her legs and giggle. It is super cute!
