Elaina Wins the Contest

It is official....Elaina is the first to walk. As I type I am watching her stand up in the middle of the room. (or in the middle of the bath tub which is not fun for us!!) She does this all day without holding onto anything. She has been taking a couple steps at a time but the other night she took 8 in a row which we counted as she is now walking. She is so eager to do it and gets so excited when she takes steps. Skylar is still cruising along the furniture but is very fast with crawling. He is all boy and into everything. His new favorite things to do are toss a ball and chase after it and get into the dog food. He doesn't try to eat it but thinks it is fun to get into the bin and then throw the food on the ground. Dumping the dog food bowl is also fun. It seems each day we find new things we need to baby proof. They are so much fun and so EXHAUSTING to keep up with these days!!
