Gage has taken his first step! What an exciting night. We had him walk between Gunnar and I- he took up to two consecutive steps- trying to not be smashed by Avi, who also wanted to walk between us. He likes to hold his finger up to his mouth and "shush", he started blowing kisses- something he started on his own today- what a boy! he makes great car noises as he plays, loves to color, play with play dough, and is soo proud of himself when he does something. Thankfully his enthusiasm for climbing up the steps of Avi's bed has died down a little- thankful because he has taken a spill or two while coming down. He puts his hands over his face to play the cutest peek-a-boo you can imagine. his favorite toys right now are probably his stuffed Clifford dog, cars, and the walker- he is really thrilled by his greater ability to move. He has now taken three consecutive steps in a row.
Avi is growing up so quickly. She is a sweetheart, going to comfort Gage or me if there is discomfort- telling us that "It's okay". I borrowed a dog movie from the library for a the kids and a cooking one for me. Last night I asked Avi if she wanted to watch a cooking movie or a (with more excitement) a dog movie. We put on the dog one and shortly both kids lost interest, Avi asked to watch the cooking movie instead. I put it in- and she was riveted.
I was putting her to bed the other night and she brought up how she and Manu and touched the temple (that was last Thanksgiving!) and then went on to talk about how she found Easter eggs with Manu, and then onto about Easter at Grandma's house. I was delighted and surprised with her great memory.
