Well, not too much is happening.
Leo is continuing to crawl and explore new places and things in the house. He can really get around pretty quickly. His most recent exploration has been the cat food dish. He just likes to feel the food, so far. I'm sure tasting it will be in the near future!
He has also been trying to pull himself to standing. Tom witnessed him let go of the exersaucer while standing and stand alone for 10 seconds. Leo also likes to try to take steps when he is standing while holding our hands. We think he might be walking by his first birthday. :)
Leo has also been tasting new foods, like little pasta, banana bread, and zucchini muffins. He does really well with them and seems to like them a lot! He has also been drinking from a sippy cup at his meals and only has a bottle before bed and if he wakes in the night.
Which brings us to sleeping through the night... sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't. He slept through the night for three nights in a row. Then he has woken up the last three nights- twice last night! Hopefully he'll start sleeping through the night, all the time, soon, so we can all get some sleep!
No teeth yet for Leo. We're thinking about stopping checking, because that's when they'll come, when we're not looking!
Now on to Flora...
She is growing up so quickly, too quickly, in fact! Just the other day I looked back at her while she was walking "by myself" at the grocery store and realized that she really isn't even a toddler any more. She looks so much like a three year old and acts like one, too!
It's amazing the things she says and how much she can really comprehend.
Potty training has pretty much stayed the same, with the exception of the fact that she hasn't gone #2 in her diaper in about a month. She still wets at nap and during the night, but that's okay with us, she has time.
She has been doing GREAT in her big girl bed! She doesn't get out to play before she falls asleep or after she wakes up. She doesn't get out of bed until I open her door. Sometimes I will open her door in the middle of the night and she still will not get out of bed and come out of her room until I peek in. She just reads or talks to herself or her baby or bear.
We have been going hiking more lately(Tuesday is "Hiking Night"). Flora really likes to walk and explore nature. It's normally a slow hike if she's walking, but sometimes we all need to slow down and enjoy nature and the moment! :)
All this time outside has resulted in her first wasp sting. We were at Point Beach, it wanted her sandwich and she got a sting right on the cheek. Good thing I had a frozen Boca burger to put on it and she wasn't allergic. She also got stung, tonight, by a wasp. It got trapped under her skirt and stung her twice on her upper thigh. One of it's stingers was even stuck in her leg. She is such a good sport about it though. She cries for a bit, but once the ice is on it she settles down and it doesn't seem to bother her any more. Poor girl, they sure don't like her! :(
Guess that's all for now!
