Kids Update

Justin is developing in leaps and bounds. He's sitting very well now and would much rather be sitting or standing than lying down. His walker is great for him cause he can scoot around, be upright and see much more. I think he is going to be quite a mover cause he doesn't much like to sit still - unless he is properly entertained. Even when he's having a bottle he plays with his toes, pulls on the pillow behind his head which I use to support my arm, kicks his legs, waves his arm around and pulls the cloth up over his eyes. When you hold him on your lap his loves to jump up and down on your thighs - great arm work out! A little while ago he discovered his toes and now they are one the best toys to suck - mmmmm. He will still relatively still if you read him a story - in the last few days he has decide that books are pretty interesting after all. Course he'd rather eat the books half the time as he puts everything in his mouth!

Amber has become much more affectionate and it's lovely to get big hugs and kisses and hearing her say 'I love you' spontaneously without prompting! After her birthday we got into making cards and she has loved this! As she gets older she is much more capable (of course!!) and it's fun to see her creativity develop. She'll finish a card and then show it to us all including Roxy (the dog) saying 'look, it's beautiful!'. At the moment she has 3 favorites toys - a little plastic dog, a soft teddy she was given for her birthday and a small doll along with 2 bottles for it. She'll tell me that one of them in crying and then I'll hear her saying, "It's ok dolly. I'm coming, Everything is ok - I'm here now." Mmmm, wonder where she's heard that! :) If we leave one of them home, as we turn into our road she'll start calling, "I'm coming dolly. Don't worry!"
