It is so fun to watch Joshua figure things out. I was changing Emily's diaper and Joshua came in to watch. He was holding his juice cup and a ton of toys, but he wanted to climb up on the bed. He put the toys on the bed first, then tried to put the cup on the bed, but it kept falling over. He tried to make a pile of blankets to lean it on, but it rolled. So he lifted up the blanket, put the cup under it, and set the blanket on top of the cup - voila! it stayed upright!! Shawn & I were both impressed - we wouldn't have thought of that, but it worked!
If all Emily wanted for Christmas was "her two front teeth", it seems she would have it. Her top right front tooth come in on Sunday, her bottom left tooth come in today, and it looks like the top left will come in tomorrow!! I realized her shaking her head is her form of dancing to music. :) She will also often hum along. She is definitely "cruising" now. She always prefers to be standing, and will pull-up if she can anything to hold onto!
Joshua was playing and talking in a high-pitched voice, so I asked him if he were a mouse, or a little bird. He says "No, mama. Tata BIG boy!" in a confident voice! :)
We had a fun day on Saturday - we went to Zube Park where they have free train rides on miniature steam locomotives. Joshua loved seeing all the different trains, and enjoyed the ride too. Then we went to Dewberry Farm. It wasn't quite as fun for Joshua as the Oil Ranch was, but he still enjoyed it. He loved bouncing on the air pillows, feeding the goats, and sliding down the roller slide. He wanted to do all the things the big kids were doing. He tried to hang on to the big ball swing, and enjoyed it for a minute or two, and then he fell off. He didn't get the idea of wrapping his legs around the rope when jumping off the hay bales.... oh well, he tried! It was a fun day, and the kids were wiped out and both in bed by 7pm - and I was able to get in bed around 8p, which made it an even more wonderful day for me! :)
