Getting There!
Lela’s getting pretty close to sitting for more than five seconds all by herself. Is fun to watch the development… just yesterday she’d fall over (in any direction) if you sat her down and let her go, but this morning she was doing a great job of keeping face off the floor by adjusting her body as it tried to flop to either side. I haven’t seen her try the tripod, but I imagine that will come soon.
Sitting in front of Lela as a role model was Piper… she was happily sitting in front of their LeapFrog WonderBall, cooing at it and spinning it, listening to the music and watching the lights. It’s hard to believe that just a couple weeks ago she wouldn’t spin that ball, let alone sit in front of it.
We’re still in the process of teaching Piper that it’s ok to go to sleep at a reasonable hour… last night she stayed up until 9:45 or so. The little stinker… I’d like to say that Mystique and I are so interesting that she wants to stay up with us, but somehow I don’t think that’s the case. It must be Rupert… everyone loves a golden retriever.
We’re getting some great pictures of the girls so be sure to check our flickr site. As an aside, I heartily recommend flickr for photo sharing… when you combine it with iPhoto on our mac, it’s just a piece of cake to share photos with our extended family.
That’s it for now!
