Cruisin' Girl

Well, it's official. Anna prefers to walk instead of crawl. She used to just do it when prompted or when we would clap for her, but now she is just all over the place. I think it has made her feel more independent because she has also become more stubborn and learned to throw a fit. That's not so cute so probably no video on that. She is a sweetheart though, and it is fun to have her walk to your knee and ask to be picked up. BEAUTIFUL girl!

Angry Will

One of our favorite things is William's angry face. He scrunches his nose and sticks out his lips. He then breaths very heavily through his nose. It is so funny. We'll often do it back to him which frustrates the poor boy even more. Sometimes he'll laugh with us like he realizes that he is being silly. He is such a handsome boy, not that I am bias at all.

Stepping Out with My Baby

She's closer! Anna is taking steps on her own now. She'll go from sitting to standing without using furniture or toys to help her up. On a good day, she'll also take steps without any assistance. She'll take a few steps, steady herself, then take some more. Once we pull the camera out, of course, she becomes shy and takes fewer steps. She's almost there, though!

Naptime?

We haven't been diligent about making the kids fall asleep in the same room. (I recently heard that parents of twins go into "survival mode" and do whatever is necessary to get things done. I attribute our sleep method to survival mode.) This video demonstrates what happens when we attempt same room naptime.

Le Sueur Humor Already

Will thinks his Grandpa Brig is hilarious! We got to visit with Karen and Brig for a while a couple of weeks ago, and once Will warmed up to Grandpa, he really enjoyed himself. The Le Sueurs have a distinct, "pun-ny" humor that apparently Will already gets. I think this means that Will and Larkin will be telling very similar jokes in the future.

Standing Girl

Anna is so close to walking! She has been pulling herself up and walking along furniture for a while now. She loves to walk around the room while holding on with only one hand. Lately, she has gotten much more courageous. She will let go of whatever she is holding on to and stand on her own for a few seconds. Here is a short clip of her enjoying her new-found freedom. (Sorry about it being sideways.)

Hot Dog!

Will's favorite show is now Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We found it on accident one Saturday morning when he woke up WAY too early for a Saturday. His favorite part is the "Hot Dog Dance" at the end of every show. He perks right up when he hears the beginning of the song and turns to see it, as he starts dancing. Luckily, we found that song on YouTube and play it for him randomly during the day. Here is a clip of his reaction. We love it!
