February was much like January. Up and down and up and down… Days in the high 60’s and even 70’s, then snowing, windy, rainy. We also spent several weeks recovering from some nasty colds, so we spent a lot of time playing at home, nursing runny noses and coughs.
By mid-month we were all-better, and were able to have some friends over to play, as well as able to go to playgroups, church, and music class again! We tried story hour at the bookstore. And we went on lots of fun walks with Mommy and some other friends.
We even got to go outside a few times and walk around on our own. Christopher always wants to head straight across the street to watch the neighborhood kids play basketball (“Ball”!). But Mommy always makes us hold her hands, and then come back inside, which isn’t as much fun as going outside.
We turned 18 months this month! At the end of the month, Katharine was 21 pounds, 2 ounces, and 31 inches, and Christopher was 26 pounds, 9 ounces, and 33 inches! We are walking all over the place, with more and more independence and confidence. We even like to see if we can “escape” Mommy and Daddy sometimes by going really fast. We are learning to hold the railing while walking up the stairs, but still need lots of practice, and are not quite ready yet for walking down.
And we are starting to try saying lots of words, like “more, milk, moo, ball, woof (for dog), and Vvv (for vvroom – car)". It is wonderful to be able to try to tell Mommy and Daddy what we want instead of just crying or yelling until they figure it out! ☺
And this month, we began to learn to love our veggies and trying some new foods! Our new teeth are making it easier and more fun to chew, so our food adventure continues!
Here is a site for some fun photos from this month. You can copy and paste it into your browser to see the pictures. Enjoy!
