C ransacking...she's pulled out most of the clothes and toys from their bins.


K being herself. I have no explanation for this. (correction, I showed it to her and she says it's her gwadiator costume.


The girls on Valentine's Day.

She's been pulling up for a while, but this week has marked Claudia being able to stand up on her own in the middle of the room. I just think it's funny that she has to be holding on to something, even if it's a toy. She's so determined in her path of terror that I know it's only a matter of time before she learns to run to chase the cat.

I think she's also signing mom. She says it only occasionally, but lately she's been putting her hand near her ear when she's "talking"...

K has always loved to read books. Even when she was a tiny baby, she would sit while I read a stack. C on the other hand, eats books and uses them to beat the cat or her sister. I would hold the two of them on my lap in an attempt to get C interested. As I read, C would pull K's hair, hit her, lick her. I got so I put her on the floor to chase the cat while K and I read books together.

At her 9 month appointment, the doctor gave C a nice touch and feel book from a ladies group...
