Milestones

On Monday Abby got up on her hands and knees for the first time! Yesterday and today she's been busy rocking back and forth.

On Monday I gave Anna a new sippy cup to use which had a picture of Tinkerbell on it. She asked me who it was. I told her. Then she looked at the other two fairies on the cup and asked me who they were. I said I didn't know. She said, "Look it up on the internet, Mommy." I couldn't believe that she thought to do this! In case you are curious, these fairies did have names. (I was skeptical). Apparently the modern Tinkerbell comes with a crew of 4 other fairies who all have identities - who knew?

On Tuesday we noticed that Abby knows her name! When you say "Abby," she turns and looks at you with a big smile!

On Tuesday Anna asked me, "What letter does the word, 'Dora,' start with?" After I told her, "D," she asked me about a whole bunch of other words.

AND today was a milestone for me. I actually did something productive with both girls in the double stroller. We went to the mall. Okay, I didn't actually buy anything except for a pretzel, but they both seemed to enjoy the trip. For Abby, she's just enjoying the stroller more because she can be in the sitting position instead of the reclined position. For Anna, it took some serious negotiation to get to the point where she was willing to do a whole mall trip in a stroller, BUT I think she actually had a good time.
