Pointing and stacking

Just an update on the girls. Lela is still in love with Elmo, I don’t think that is going to change anytime soon. She has Twist and Shout Elmo, Chicken Dance Elmo and E-L-M-O (to the tune of YMCA), she loves them all and constantly points at them and grunts until you turn them on. Then she laughs and dances. The other day she was up on the tops of her toes, not tippy toes, think Ballerina top of toes. She kept doing it over and over even though I was wincing each time. She might be a dancer. She walks on her tippy toes when you hold her hands, she is already tall but maybe she wants to be taller!

Piper has started to stack things. She can stack blocks and as soon as she gets them stacked Lela enjoys knocking them down. Piper doesn’t mind and just goes about stacking again. She also has started to help me put away the toys when it is time for naps. Lela continues to zoom from one place to the next tossing whatever she is playing with over her shoulder as she speeds away. Her favorite game is carry me around the house so I can point at everything.

We are starting our Baby Signs class on Wednesday. It is during their normal nap time so we will see how it goes.
