So Ellen starting walking a couple weeks ago. She'd been making a lot of attempts, but gave up quickly. She crawled so fast, we weren't sure she thought she needed to walk. But recently, walking has become her main mode of transportation. For some reason, she feels more comfortable and seems to be more balanced when she takes off one of her socks, puts it in her mouth and then walks around aimlessly. It's great to watch her except when she bounces her head off the dining room table.
Mara's vocabulary has really flourished. She says words I don't know how she could know. Like ambulance. She's also singing the ABC's song front to back and sings Twinkle Twinkle little star. Stacey is ready to send her to MIT, but I think this is pretty normal activity for kids her age.
The holidays are upon us. This season looks to be busy as usual. Heading to the Schwartz part of the world for Turkey day. I'm really looking forward to gorging myself and getting my tummy rubbed. Followed by watching some football and drinking some brews. I'm going to join in the annual Turkey day MTB ride in Des Moines on Thanksgiving morning.
Christmas plans are up in the air. Looks like I might have to work on the 24th. Not sure yet though.
