Lauren doesn’t pull herself along the floor anymore, she’s definitely a crawler. She crawls over to something, then immediately pulls herself up on it. Sometimes she can get herself back down and sometimes it seems she doesn’t know how. She’s discovered the dog water bowl in the kitchen and loves to splash in it. She’s a great eater; doesn’t want baby food as much as real food. She seems to like the texture in her mouth. She’s in the Cheerios stage. She’s doing great at picking up pieces of food and getting them into her mouth, mostly. She regularly has a Cheerio stuck to her cheek or chin that will stay there the entire meal. She’s still such a happy little girl. It is amazing how fast she’s turning into a little person. I hate to sound so cliché, but time sure flies.
Dylan is loving preschool and is learning lots about “school things” like Fall/Autumn and Johnny Appleseed (I say autumn is a school thing, because it is sort of mythical around here). She still loves to color and draws butterflies, people (mostly she draws people), unicorns, and rainbows most of the time. She loves to draw her letters; she’ll make letters and ask me, “what does this spell?” I can remember sitting in the kitchen doing the same thing. She can write her name without any help and sometimes she can do Peyton’s. She can recognize Peyton’s and Lauren’s names, and mine and Todd’s too. She does a lot of “starts with” words – “G-G-G-Grandma, that starts with G!”
Peyton is having a lot of fun at home with me while Dylan is in school. She still only goes Tuesday & Thursday until 11:30, but its enough to recognize that he’s the big man of the house for a while. He told me that he wants to be a dinosaur when he grows up. I didn’t have the heart to tell him he couldn’t. I’m sure next week he’ll be back to wanting to be a “worker man” and want to marry a “tractor man” when he grows up. He still loves to be naked and mostly I let him.

Lauren can pull herself up now. She can also scoot around (not really “crawling” though) to different toy baskets and get the toys she wants; and sits up to play with them.
