News Feed

Since I have (once again) done a horrible job of keeping up with the blog, I've decided to do a "news feed". Ya know, just the highlights! Some of this will be redundant if you've kept up with my FB posts, but I gotta jump back in somewhere, right?

- At the zoo recently, we were looking at the penguins with Audrey. I said, "Look they're swimming!" Audrey: "Whew's dere fwoaties? Dey simmin; whew's dere fwoaties??" She was very concerned about them!

- Wyatt has decided to not be a baby any more. In the past ~3 weeks, he started army crawling, then transitioning to sitting, then sitting independantly, then reciprocal crawling, and now pulling up to stand! Oh and he cut his first tooth. For those of you either not involved in developmental stages of kids, or rusty on your time frames, this is all incredibly fast. He covered about 6-9 mos milestones from 4 mo, 3 wks to 5 mo, 2 wks. Yikes. We decided to lower his crib mattress last week to the middle level. A week later, we had to move it all the way down since he was standing. :( Sad day for Momma! I know all babies grow up too fast, but sheesh, this kid is on the fast track!

- Audrey continues to be a little Momma. Sitting on my lap while working on this, she tells her baby, Candi, "Putcha legs down. I'mma spank ya hiney. (spanks) (Looks into her face) Cumere, fweet gihl. My fweet gihl. You obey. You unnastan? You unnastan?" Funny and interesting to see your parenting reflected back to you...!

- And finally (for now!), the sweetest, most heart warming thing happened last night. We're all in the car on the way home from eating out. Wyatt is glued to his big sis, as he is mich of the time these days. Audrey sneezes, and Wy starts giggling. She realizes he's laughing at her, so she fake sneezes, then starts giggling back at him. Now they're just laughing back and forth at each other! Ummm, wish I could bottle that feeling!! This was the first time they've really interacted back and forth, esp. sweetly. :) Loved seeing a glimpse of how close they'll grow up to be!
