Climber / Talker

I would have to label this weekend "climbing" and "talking". Let me explain... Riley was playing in the play room on Saturday morning and I looked up and she was standing on the seat of the car (picture to the left) with her hands raised in the air clapping. She was so very proud of herself I just had to grab the camera. By the time I snapped this photo, she was on her way down, but you get the idea. When I first saw her my heart sank since she was balancing hands free on something with wheels, but she was so proud I couldn't ruin her moment. She's pretty good on her feet. She has continued to climb all over the place this weekend. She and Ryan were both very very active at Play2Grow on Saturday. They climbed all over everything and proved that they are ready to move up to the next class next week. They will graduate from Baby Spa into the big kids room! Gramma came to see them at their last class and then joined us for the cd release party for the "Baby Grands". Our friends have produced a children's music cd and it's really good music.

Now for the "talking" part of this post. Ryan has developed a very distinct language and has had full conversations with us talking in this language. He has very distinct words and inflection in his voice and speaks with great passion. We just wish we knew what he was saying! He was upset with me yesterday when I was changing his diaper and I know for sure he was telling me off. I guess it's those times I'm happy I can't understand him! It's very cute to watch and listen to him talk to us. It makes me really look forward to the day they each can talk with us. I know... one day I will wish I hadn't said that since they will be talking non stop, but for now I truly wonder what goes through those precious little heads and what they are thinking!

We receive the CD with all of their 12 month photos this week (not just the ones on the slideshow), so here's the link to them: http://picasaweb.google.com/hutchinson.heidi/2008101212MonthPhotos# We are thrilled with how they turned out. Thanks Jen! http://www.jenwunderlichphotography.com/
