Expanding boundaries

Stella has been shimmying around on the floor for more than a week but she's really getting quick now, especially when she slides onto the hardwood floor. She's starting to drive Will bonkers because she always wants to get into what he's doing. She'll crawl over to his trains, trucks or whatever and it's not long until we hear Will say "Mom, make Stella stop."

Maggie was content to sit and play for as long as we'd let her but in the last day or two she started crawling in earnest. On Wednesday night, Maggie grabbed onto a basket and she pulled herself to a standing position. Later, she pulled herself up next to the couch and then stood holding onto it for a few seconds. The girl might skip crawling.




Will has been trying more and more new things at school. He's finally started taking part in art projects - before racing off to play. It doesn't seem like he sings much at school, but he appears to know most of the words when we catch him singing around the house.
