Frankenstein and Fetch

Those are the 2 games we played tonight. I felt bad thinking that I was playing Fetch with my son…but I was. I’m trying to teach them small words, and we were playing and looking at a BALLLLLL, and I’d throw it and he’d go get it, and bring it right back to me. I’d throw it again, and off he’d go. We’ve decided that William is very smart and catches on very quickly to new things. Not that our princess isn’t smart, but William just picks up on things extra quick and then he just knows them.

We also played Frankenstein, as this is how William looks when he WALKS. Yes, folks, our baby boy can walk now. Emily can walk too and they both seem to take groups of steps at different times. But after last night and today and tonight again, William is consistently taking large groups of steps at a time. He walked down the hall, across the room. After bath time tonight, I was getting Emily dressed and half paying attention to William playing ( yeah yeah, so I’m not the perfect Mom!)  I knew he had gone into the hallway, but again, I wasn’t paying complete attention, I was trying to wrangle the princess’s legs into her PJ’s. So I notice something out of the corner of my eye, and I think to myself, in a little bit of a scared way, what the HECK is THAT?! It just caught me off guard…and it was William walking into the room. Just strolling right on in! I about died! It’s just so strange to see him actually up on 2 feet, walking around like a person. Yes, he’s still Frankensteinish…but it’s definitely a start, and once Emily starts to feel really brave, she’ll be right behind him!

Tonight we had spaghetti, I actually cooked it with my 2 hands. Emily ate it off the spoon, but William would have nothing to do with a spoon.  So I just decided to go ahead and let them have it, we were getting a bath anyway. Here is the aftermath!

William loves to climb onto things, to get to things he’s not supposed to. Tonight, even though he was trying his best to get to the Wii games, he took a load off in the basket.

These are just 2 pictures of Emily from last week, I just love her jeans.

Well, I need to be doing my Wii…but I sure don’t want to. I’ll do my housework instead and see if the Wii calls my name ( somehow I doubt it will!) Happy Monday!
