Our Kids

I think Lela must be reading this site… she likes to stand now! Not all that often, of course, but she’s doing it. And, like Piper, she’ll get a big ol’ grin on her face when she’s up standing tall. Pretty fun to be a part of, that’s for sure.

The girls seem to be getting back to a schedule… I think Piper slept through the night last night while Lela got up just once. They’re definitely in the early-riser club, though… Lela was up at 5am this morning and didn’t want to go back to sleep. Luckily Piper slept until 7am so no double-teaming that early.

Well, I just heard that Mystique wrote an update as I’m writing this, so I’m gonna quit and see what she wrote!

Well as you all know Piper started standing a few weeks ago and just can’t get enough of it. So far Lela has not been too interested in the fact that her sister can stand and we have not been pressuring her. But yesterday I was at my friend Erika’s house and she has a beautiful and strong 4 month old little boy. So I was sitting with him on the floor and he was standing and Lela was sitting on Erika’s leg right across from us. Once she saw Kevin standing she thrust out her little legs and stood for the longest time. I think she somehow knew he was a little boy and she was determined not to let him out stand her. It was quite funny and cool.

So now she is on to the standing gig which is cool. She is also into this thing where she sucks in her bottom lip and then spits it out all the while saying phtttt sounds and lots of bubbles. She is quite proud of herself and I can’t help but laugh as the drool runs down her chin and into my hand:)
