Cosette you can

Almost walk. You are taking more and more steps everyday. (but since this update is a week late You are a FULL time WALKER!!!!!!) You can shake your head no, say: ball, bow and try to say dog. You are trying to use your fork, but still prefer your hands. You are a sweet girl. When you see your sisters lovey you will crawl across the room to give it to her. You like to be held still and will find any willing adult to hold you when momma has her hands full. You like to be where the big girls are. And part of all the fun. You have a smile that will melt me every time. Those dimples are my joy. You love dress up. You started when you were 15 months old. You find anything that looks like it could be used as decoration on your body, bows, head bands, bracelet, necklaces, and Gianna's dress-up clothes, and you desire it to be on your body RIGHT NOW! You have a tendency to find (take) a toy that is in the hands of another sister.
You like books and will back up your hiney until it hits my lap and woe to the sister who does not make room for you! You can turn the pages and you love to find your belly!

Elizabeth you can
Are standing and not yet ready to walk. You are just content to stand and that's it. Except for trying to climb every piece of furniture in the house. You like to climb to sit on the rocking chair, on top of the couch, on top of your sisters bed. And you are not content just to be up there. You HAVE to stand on these things. And I've caught you a couple of times trying to stand on the little table. I find you on the top of your sister stool in the bathroom. Or even the step stool in the kitchen.

You fuss for long enough and Momma will find you. You know where your head, belly and momma's nose are. You are getting better using your fork and you can sign more and finished as well as sake your head no. But woe to the sister who takes a toy away from you. Fists of Furry is your cage fighting name. You LOVE to smile. I love making you laugh and tickling you. You enjoy books and have a favorite: What's that baby?
