Little Man, Little Miss

My children are being really fun right now. The younger, she just learned within the last week to:

• Sit up for 30+ minutes at a time


• Transfer items from one hand to another


• Eat graham crackers (good starter food, grandma!)


• Put EVERYTHING into her mouth
  
• Say "da da da da da", every time in a whisper
  

She's had an eventful week! In addition, she went to the local minor-league baseball game with me and her grandmother and was an angel, even through the fireworks after the game. She was also recently given a completely clean bill of health from her cardiologist and surgeon. She's just been a lovely Little Miss.

Her brother is becoming a big boy right in front of my eyes. He is very close to being completely potty trained - diapers only at night! He carries on a decent conversation, has a crazy, well-used imagination, and has been a pretty good boy in general for the last couple of weeks. He even said 'Thank you for the dinner, mom!' before he trotted off to wash his hands after his meal. Polite every now and again, too!

The Little Man has recently become very interested in mufflers. Every time we're near the car I find him crouched behind it, trying to peer up the tailpipe. He asked me what comes from the tailpipe, so I explained that when the engine runs it makes exhaust and that's what comes out the muffler. He now will tell anyone who will listen - including perfect strangers! - all about this.

Little Man, Little Miss, how did we ever get on without you?
