Pillow fight with daddy.

up and down and up and down

Fun stuff happening in our house. Not only can C&C climb up the stairs, but yesterday they both climbed down the stairs! No more 40+ pounds loads to carry up and down the stairs!

And, we are using eating utensils more often with meals. They are thrilled and so happy to be using them. I'm not brave enough to give them complete control of the food, but help them dip their spork into the food to enjoy.

Our offer was accepted on a house and should be final today. All we need is to have a successful closing on our house in Indiana. We should be in the new house the week before Thanksgiving. Looking forward to spending the holidays in our new home!

C&C

These two crack me up. Even though they are still dealing with colds, they find joy in simple things like crawling into a basket of clean clothes.

Their new word? Banana. Actually, it's more like "na-na-na". the monkeys shared two at breakfast, one at lunch and another two at dinner yesterday! I need to buy another bunch today after lunch. And, Connor is signing "all done", and even "more" if he's not done. He could eat until he bursts, but have to love his appetite! Chloe just starts to scream and throw food on the floor when she is done (I guess she's going to make up her own sign language.....).

They are getting closer and closer to standing on their own. Chloe has been squatting with her hands on the floor...so I'm guessing, as I predicted, that she will stand first. We'll see.

Connor had eight teeth, Chloe still has her two bottom teeth.....crooked, at that!

Both light up when Chad gets home from work. They crawl to play with him. It's a joy that they are thrilled to see him, and it' gives me a little break!
