Leaps and Bounds

The newest trick this week: Standing. Both girls have shown the ability to balance themselves quite well against something, and Megan can pull herself up, and today has even worked herself around the living room playpen.





During Jenn's pregnancy we often wondered what it was going to be like to have twins, and while it certainly is challenging, the truth is that we've been lucky, getting as close to perfect children as one could hope. They slept through the night at 3 months, they very rarely cry for no reason, overall they could not have better dispositions. Now that they're getting mobile, however, and watching how they're starting to get after each other in the playpen, I'm thinking we may be near the end of the "honeymoon", so to speak. It's strange, you keep thinking a milestone like walking is far off into the future still, then you start seeing things like this, you remember Jalen tearing around the house a couple weeks ago, Ruth mentions Karen walked at 9 months...yeah. Fun times ahead for sure.

Finally, we present Megan: A Story in Pictures.


"All right, time to pull myself up, this shouldn't be too hard."


"This wooden mountain should provide a solid enough base."


"Whew...OK, here we go!"


"Almost there!"


"Hey, what's this?"


"This book looks like a pig!"


"That's the craziest thing I've ever...WHOA!"


"Hi, Mommy! What are you doing up here?"
