Pulling up

Kendall has been pulling up for over a month- as the days go by, she seems less and less content with her view of the world from a sitting position. She's discovering all sorts of fun things to do as she pulls up and climbs over and into things.

She can see eye to eye with her puppy dogs by standing up at the back door...

She helped organize her daddy's papers this weekend by opening his drawer and pulling stuff out (seriously, it was more organized when she was through with it than it was before).

She has often stood at the front door to look outside. Today, though, she seemed to be telling us for the first time 'I want to play outside with the big kids!' Neighbors driving by stopped to look - they couldn't believe Kendall was standing at the front door.

When Kendall disappears, I usually find her in her room playing with her toys. She will pull the toys out of her baskets and talk and play by herself for awhile before she crawls out to rejoin us.

Haley came down with some sort of little bug on Friday. She didn't move off the couch and hardly spoke a word for a good 3 hours. She ran a fever on Friday and Saturday, but today she seems to have made a full recovery. She has run her mouth a mile a minute every waking moment today - as Kevin says, she's trying to make up for the past few days. Here she is conked out on the couch on Friday.

No Snow for Colatown

Schools (and my work) were cancelled late last Sunday afternoon in anticipation of the big snow storm. I was excited about the possibility of staying home and playing in the snow with Haley on Monday, but unfortunately...there was no snow. The girls wore their winter themed pajamas to bed Sunday night, but we woke up to a clear, sunny day.

Since I had the day off, we enjoyed breakfast together at home, lunch with Marynell, and the afternoon at a play gym. Kendall got one of her first non baby food breakfasts - she had part of a blueberry muffin. She definitely enjoyed it, and she's since had grilled cheese sandwiches, jelly sandwiches, and pasta. Kevin has given her raisins and honey nut cheerios, too (I was not in the house when this happened).

Kendall enjoyed standing at the train table at the play gym.

Haley had a blast. She does such a great job making friends. She has no insecurities about walking right up to other kids she doesn't know and asking them to play with her or asking them to be her friend. She is very persistent, too, even when she's ignored.
