Kid Happenings

Tyler is growing up so fast! He is becoming more and more interested in reading and writing. Instead of drawing pictures -- which he never was really into -- he writes stories. I'll post one of his latest, but it'll have to wait until later. He's still such a great big brother. Oh, he has his moments, but honestly, I have it pretty easy with him.


Adeline has been growing like crazy! She tries to pull her knees under her while on her tummy, and she's figured out how to wiggle herself enough, while on her back, to go after something. I've already had to talk to Tyler about keeping his toys put away if he doesn't want Addie to get them. He freaks out any time he sees her with one of his cars in her mouth! She's also sitting up very well on her own. She still leans forward sometimes, but she's getting much better. And she would much rather sit than lie down. For about 2 months now she's been lifting her head up and doing some tummy crunches trying to sit up. When she can't get up she'll throw a tantrum all because she wants to sit up! She has also developed an I'm-mad-and-frustrated yell! It's so much fun seeing her little personality come out. She has a strong personality!

We tried cereal for the first time last week. You can tell from the pictures that it wasn't her favorite thing!
