Gracie at 10 months! Geez she is already to double digits! In the words of my husband " she is a little people". It's amazing how these little beings turn into people under watched eye. You can tell she understands and wants to communicate. She can blow kisses, walk across the room, crawl up stairs. She kicks her little feet when she gets picked up. She babbles mama and dada especially when she wants us to do something. Totally amazing! She continues to be toothless yet eats everything we feed her. Her hair is coming in in droves. She is tough and can handle when her brother is a brute three year old. She loves her brother. He has taken to "helping" get out doors and other places that his "tow truck" services can go that hers are not sufficient.
She is a social butterfly. She is waving from the second she is pulled out from the car seat until the time she shuts her eyes. Constantly looking to make eye contact with people. Her smile is brilliant and fills a room. ( which is a stark contrast to her recently shy brother who hides behind his mama legs when spoken to by strangers.)
Max is my sweet boy. He is trying to figure things out about this big world you can tell. He hears something and try's to use it in context. He is starting to get possessive of his room and toys. The weekend of march 31st he decided he wanted to ride his bike and has not stopped since. It's his passion. His little legs are getting so strong his is now able to peddle ALL the way UP our driveway! He is learning to navigate the ends of side walk bumps and incline/declines. He has been out playing with our neighbor boys lately, too. One day over the weekend they were all out playing and Abby (the mom) asked if her boys were hungry and Max chimed in "yes" so in he went for a full coursed meal! So funny! None of us have been in their home so this was hilarious to me that he just agreed to lunch and went in like he lived there and was one of the boys. Yet, he is shy. He always has been when it comes to people he doesn't know. We know where he gets this from, considering Robb and I aren't all that socially adept. Gracie's outgoing-ness is the mystery! I like Max's shyness. I don't think he needs to talk to people he doesn't know. It's healthy. I can talk to those people, he doesn't need to. And I have a standard line that I use so people don't think I am purposely raising a rude child.
I love spending all this time outside. The weather has been phenomenal. Plus, I went a little crazy and bought something new. His name is BOB. We have been thoroughly enjoying these glorious days with long walks with many stops at parks. I am smitten! It was worth the extra shifts, I tell ya!
