Updates

Just a few things to share on a Friday:

  • We’ve had colds all week.  I think I got it from working in the nursery last Sunday and brought it home.  I’m a good bit better today.  Hopefully the babies will be fully back to normal in a day or two.
    • It’s hard to be a good mommy when you don’t feel good.
    • We had to miss our church’s mom’s group this morning because of runny noses.
    • There is another meeting we have to attend tomorrow morning as well, but thankfully, my MIL is going to come watch the babies so I don’t have to worry about the nursery.
  • Erin is pulling up on everything: chairs, couches, end tables, gates, you-name-it.  She can now reach the top of the TV cabinet, which is where we’ve been storing diaper supplies for easy access, and can pull off the diapers up there.  I guess I’ll have to find a new place for them now…
  • Alex is my climber.  There’s no doubt about it.  He wants to get on top things.  He’s got the right motions for pulling up, and will stand assisted if you put him next to the couch or chair, but he is still a bit away from pulling himself up. 
  • As for getting back down from a standing position, Alex has Erin on that one.  She just falls on her bum (looking surprised, of course).  He can actually lower himself using his hands a bit more.  Whatever works, I guess!
  • Eric fed the babies lunch yesterday.  They had grilled cheese sandwiches for the first time (totally his – very good – idea), and they loved them. 

I can’t think of any other significant updates, so I’ll call that a post.  Happy Friday…and Happy Weekend!
