Thought I would add some video clips to Ian's photo gallery. As he has already mentioned, the girls are into everything these days. We've moved some "climbable" items out of the family room. I guess that we have been lucky that the girls are still pretty petite that we can use the swings for nap time. However, Abby figured how to get in them herself. We are now done with the swings.
She is also a pro at getting into the toy box. However, she's having a hard time here. I just think it's funny.
Stella is pretty much on pace with Abby as far as walking goes. Except I think that Abby now has a tendency to run. Zoe is still perfecting her walk and getting better everyday. She has started to get frustrated when she can't keep up with her sisters. Vocabulary continues to grow as well. Some of the new words we use a lot include, ZoZo, Bumpa (Grandpa) along with some new animal sounds-like a bunny and a shark. Our sitters, Sarah and Mallory have been teaching the girls a few new things too-like how old they are. Here's Stella filling you in:
As I stated earlier, Abby is the explorer and climber. Stella is the silly one. She's also invented a new dance move that involves mostly her arms ( I have yet to get this on video). She also enjoys walking around talking on the phone or shaking her finger at people. Zoe likes to interact with her sisters, but she is also good at keeping herself entertained.... that is, until her sisters come bother her. But, she's getting good at fighting back in order to keep the toy she wants. She's been really into playing with her hair lately-actually putting it into her eyes or shaking her head back and forth.
Here we are eating like big girls at the kitchen table. Messy, but cute. (And if you couldn't see what we were eating from the close ups, it's pizza and yogurt-which we just decided to slap with our hands).
That's about all from us. Looking forward to spring when we can take the girls outside to play. So, whomever keeps ordering snow for Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Stop (please!).
