We're probably doing it wrong.
So the other day E was playing with the empty laundry basket, and I randomly decided to lay him down in the basket and carry him as if he were laundry. And then I gave M a turn. They thought it was hilarious, I thought it was both hilarious and adorable. Tonight we did more... Continue Reading →
While we were at the orchard a few weeks ago, M took my hands and started walking! (M orchard) At home, I put him on the horsey and he walked in across the room, slowly and jerkily. He kept practicing and practicing. He also started cruising along the couch, but only in one direction (to... Continue Reading →
On September 1, this happened: Both babies were up on all all fours. Within a day or two they figured out how to push backward on their hands, and would back up around the living room/play area. Occasionally one of them would end up under a table. Silly babies. They also got really good at... Continue Reading →
