A sitting Monkey

We have been working on sitting. Most of the time the Wonder Twins just topple over. Today, Monkey Boy stayed up! He sat long enough for me to run and get the camera, then snap a few pics. I finally laid him on his tummy when he started getting red in the face and looked at me with that "SAVE ME MOMMY!" look on his face. I am so proud of him!

An Ah Ha Moment

Monkey Boy has fought sleep... pretty much since he was born. He is an easy going guy the rest of the time... But, when it comes to Night night time... He fights with the best of them.

A couple of weeks ago we set up the second crib. Frog had been sleeping in a mini-pack-n-play in their room. Monkey Boy is a mover and we were afraid he would kick his sister or roll on top of her. Anyway, we needed the pack-n-play for Ms. K's naps. Since she can stand and is cruising, we needed a sleeping place where she was safe and couldn't climb out.

Anyway, we put the two cribs right up next to each other. I SWEAR I heard angels singing when we did this! Monkey boy can gaze at little Frog as they go to sleep.

Since then, Monkey Boy has slept through the night... wakes up smiling... and generally goes down for a nap with very little fuss!

OH... There you are!

The Wonder Twins are starting to notice each other. Sometimes Monkey Boy smiles at Little Frog... sometimes he acts as though she isn't there.

In this clip Froggy kept watching and waiting for Monkey to pay attention to her. When he did, she got SO excited!



The baby fussing in the background is the little girl I watch, Miss K. This helps so that I can stay home. It was her first week with us. She had some trouble transitioning to a new house without mommy there all the time. I am happy to say that by the 4th day there was only a couple of minutes of separation tears. The rest of the day was filled with laughing, exploring, pulling toys out everywhere, and enjoying the company of Monkey Boy and Little Frog.

It's bath time, Baby!!!!
