Derek has uploaded a bunch of youtube videos recently. I’ve been trying to capture Elizabeth’s scoots, but all I seem to be able to get is her smile or these pilates-looking moves:
Cheerios, Cheerios!
Posted in Elizabeth on Jan 16th, 2010
Yesterday I decided that Elizabeth should try some cheerios. I didn’t really remember when you’re supposed to start kids on finger foods, but Tommy’s baby book said he tried them at 8 months. Oh, the delight! She took 30 minutes playing with them before she realized that she could put them in her mouth. Then […]
Wow! Elizabeth is 8 months old! Time flies when you’re having fun. New developments this month include scooching across the floor, recognizing herself in the mirror (or on the computer), and making Mama, Dada, Baba sounds. She’s becoming more resilient when attacked by Tommy, she can sit up indefinitely (unless toppled), and she loves interacting all day long! […]

Well, it was going to happen eventually… Tommy just propped his sister up in front of one of his puzzles with plastic knobs, and she promptly nose-dived into it, cutting her lip. A thumb-sucker with a bloody lip isn’t a happy camper. For some reason, these things didn’t happen when Tommy was this age…
Our second Christmas was celebrated on Christmas Day–at Grandpa and Grandma Muller’s house! We crammed many family gatherings together into five days, and the kids got to see most of their Muller side relations. Highlights included Tommy learning how to say “Go ahead–make my day!” and Tommy deciding that Uncle Matthew is his best friend […]
The kids woke up for their first Christmas in matching PJs–a fun idea I got from Janet. I’m going to try to make this a tradition at our house, too, since the kids loved being “twins”! We’re having a fun time hosting all the Willetts here, and we’ll be heading to Detroit on Wednesday for […]
