Isla - She is almost crawling. She can get her legs and arms in the right position but isn't quite sure how to move forward. She is constantly rolling over onto her belly and likes to say "okay" or "m-kay". She loves to stand and is getting incredibly strong from resisting sitting so she can stand some more, except she doesn't mind sitting in her booster seat when it's time for baby food. She also is getting good balance by getting back into the standing position when we try to lean her for sitting or laying. She can stand without our help while holding onto the side of the exersaucer. She also LOVES books. The doctor's office gave her a tiny book and she won't put it down. If she's crying (and it's not feeding time) she wants her book and her pacifier! Below is a picture of her with both.
Simon - Simon's first word was "Momma". He says it all the time. He likes to try making new noises with his mouth. Unlike the others, Simon doesn't like to crawl but laughs when you put him in the crawling position. He thinks it's funny. He's also very ticklish. If you tickle his toes, belly, or arms he will laugh and laugh. He loves the exersaucer too and thinks books are the coolest thing ever. He likes to hold the books himself. It makes him feel like a big boy. Below is a picture of him with his favorite book. He can also sit up by himself too. He's a little wobbly but getting better and better.

How has it happened that your little, itty-bitty babies have teeth and can sit up? I just can't understand it! LOVE that picture of Simon. He looks like a real character.
