From the Mouth of.......Benjamin

You know, my son can absolutely crack me up at times. Every day he says something so "left field" but funny. I wonder at times where he comes up with his sayings but I guess that is part of being a unique individual. Alexis is now my little curious bug. She is forever opening cabinets, drawers, etc and pulling items out (soon to be thrown in the trash by her!). Of course, she happened to come across some Kotex pads stuffed in my bathroom cabinet. Me, being too tired at that time to pick everything up, left them on the counter. Benjamin wanders in while I'm in the bathroom (of course, I cannot be alone for 5 sec.), holds one up in the air, and asks, "Mommy, whose diaper is this??" Oh my.....

She's Walking!

So the day finally arrived! To me, it is one of my favorite milestones. When you see your child take those first steps. What a joy! The look of amazement and accomplishment on their little faces is unforgettable. After a couple of weeks of walking while holding on to someone's hand, Mike and I set up shop on the floor a few feet apart and let go! One or two little steps turned into three or four and then off she went! Benjamin was so excited. He kept shouting, "Look at Alexis, she's doing it!" and "YEAH Alexis!". Those first few days watching her was so comical...she kept one hand up in the air as if she were still holding someone's hand! Now, a couple of weeks later, and she is unstoppable! She loves her newfound skill and has put it to good use. Exploring anywhere and everywhere!
