Stairs

Emma is so funny. I showed her how to navigate the stairs one day and then last week Redge decided to show her too... well little stinker picked right up on how to do it. Eli and I were cheering her on and so she had to stop and congratulate herself too! She is a lot scary on how to start down them because she stands at the top of the stairs (still a LOT wobbly standing on her feet!) and she will cry/scream. It is like she is saying 'okay mom, show me how to get started! Pay attention!' She still hasn't figured out that she needs to start down backwards. I remember this being the hardest part for all the kids. This is her standing in all her cuteness at the top! So we decided to go for a walk this week and saw a couple of deer on the bike path. They didn't dart off until we were fairly close to them. I had my camera in the stroller too... duh, pictures don't take themselves! This is one of the boys. It was fun to try and keep Eli from running. Notice the cast is off... Dr said to not fall on it for two weeks (ie no sports, biking, etc). So poor boy is doing pretty good about being careful. I am noticing now that he sure falls a lot!
