January

Caleigh started taking gymnastics.  She is the youngest person in the class, as well as the clumsiest, but she loves it.  Her favorite move is the cheese dog, which neither I or the teacher know, but we think it is either rolling down the cheese like a log or practicing a cartwheel.   We hope the class also teaches her about obeying other adults and waiting her turn. The past few weeks the teacher has had to tell her to sit on the line and wait her turn over and over again, but she is getting better.

Caleigh decided to try on Geez-paw's boots at Grandma's birthday party, but she didn't make it too far in them.  

Aren't they cute?  This picture captures Elisha pre-crawl.  He finally started crawling last Monday at 9.5 months+, but he just uses his skills to crawl to my feet and cry.  He's also pulling up on everything.  Tonight we left him in the toy room by himself, and when I heard him whining, I went to check on him.  He had made it up the three steps into the dining room by himself.  We were amazed.  How did he go from barely moving to making it up steps in less than a week?
