So...MyBetterHalf had to leave early this morning, and the childrens were already awake and fussy. Evidently they were fussy because they were HUNGRY. Once they had the bottles, they were cool. It was a very nice morning.
I made sure to seat Miss Squeaky far enough away from Mr. Grunty so that she wouldn't steal his toys. The girl is funny, she will toss toys to the side when she is done with them. I think for her, the fun part is taking them out of the basket. Fortunately, if I refill the toy basket, she can be re-entertained. I actually got her to talk to me a couple of times which was very nice.
I did a bit of tummy time w/ Mr. G, he still doesn't like it. We have the feeling that he may skip the crawling stage. He enjoys standing and jumping around when a parent is holding onto his hands. While I changed his diaper, he and I had a fun little yelling contest with lots of laughter.
Tonight when I got home everyone was in a good mood. Friday!
(Unlike last night, when I walked through the door I heard crying and MyBetterHalf say, "Miss Squeaky, don't scratch your brother!")
We had some fun times hanging out, playing with toys, singing, dancing, doing num-nums, playing with rattles, laughing.
The sad part of the day...I hear that Miss Squeaky crawled at the daycare. Yup, we missed her first crawling. Stoopid work.
Miss Squeaky has been trying so very hard to learn to crawl. She gets up on her hands and knees, and will rock back and forth. And after a bit, will slide her leg back and be on her belly, usually scooting back in the process. This gets her no closer to her goal, FRUSTRATION, and sometimes gets her legs stuck under the couch! She is pretty good at turning. But not the forward.
As I said. Mr. Grunty seems content just to relax and hang-out. Though, when he is angry, he throws his head back and arches his back. Someday that boy is gonna slam his head into the floor, or worse. Currently, we usually keep a boppy or some other sort of pillow around him.
