Feats of Strength

Tonight I helped Cason to pull up into a standing position for the first time. Usually you pull them up to a sitting position, but both our babies for some reason skipped the sitting, and straighten their bodies out so that they go straight from lying on their backs to standing, with no real transition, their bodies just staying totally straight. They're funny.


Paige woke up this morning and had forgotten about all her new toys. She hung out with us in bed for a while, and then when she got bored she went into the living room alone. A few seconds after she walked out, she noticed all her new stuff and I heard her yelling "WOW!!" So cute. Colton also taught her to plug her nose with one hand and wave the other around, while saying "Stinky!", but it sometimes sounds more like "Tinky". She was doing it to make me laugh tonight, so that I wouldn't make her go to sleep. For some reason tonight she didn't want to go to bed. She came out of her room like 10 times, dragging her stuffed elephant, until we said it was bedtime, and she'd go running back in. Then she tried the "tinky" trick, but finally she went to sleep.

Veronica just sent me some pictures she took at Paige's party, so here's a cute one of her blowing out her candles. She was so cute, and got this funny embarrassed smile when everyone sang, and then again when they clapped after she blew out her candles.
