Oh, Ya! They are walking!

They have actually been walking for a while now! They both started at 11 months. Maisie did it first on September 25th and Ambrose a few days later on September 28th! Ambrose didn't stop once he started, but Maisie sort of regressed for a week and then she picked up right where she left off! I was a little worried about her actually because she would always want to be on "pointe" or try to curl her toes under her feet so I didn't think she would be able to walk properly until she flattened her feet out! As she gained strength and balance, she started flattened her feet out and her walking improved and is now go! - go! - go!, just like her brother!! Yes, it is oh! no! - no! - no! for mom as they can move so much faster and fall so much more!! :-)

Just Leafin' Around...

Ambrose and his ring! He would put that thing in his mouth and crawl around and play with other toys all the while keeping that ring in his mouth like a black lab dog with it's stick!! Pic taken September 3rd.












Maisie having a funny moment to herself! Pic taken September 3rd.






NEVER EVER would I have guess this would happen!!! Especially AMBROSE!

The Bite

Oh my goodness! This was awful! What happened was, I had put the kids in the playpen (I keep one set up in the family room so if I need to leave the room for any length of time I can put them in there and know that they are safe until I get back) so that I could run outside to the shop and to get the stroller and bring it around to the front door of the house so it would be ready for me to put the kids in to head out for a walk. So I did that and came back inside and peeked around the corner to check on the kids and they were both standing, smiling and giggling about something. Great I thought to myself and proceeded to take off my shoes when I heard Maisie start crying. She was crying really hard so I ran to the playpen and she was still standing, she hadn't fallen or fallen on a toy or anything so I didn't know what was wrong with her. I picked her up immediately and held her and walked around for a bit and she continued to cry, which I thought was a little strange since I couldn't see that anything had happened to her. I finally sat down with her and she did start to calm down. I was rubbing her leg gently just trying to comfort her when I noticed "it". The bite mark!! WOW!! I couldn't even believe it! It has never happened again so what I think may have happened it that Ambrose was teething and just decided to bear-down on something and her nice soft squishy thigh happened to be "right" there! No Ambrose isn't a "biter"! ha ha ha Although I shouldn't laugh as I guess it could happen! Anyway, that is the story of "The Bite"

Sorry I am so SLOW at Updating!

I don't think that I am a very good "Bloggerer" or is it "Bloggist"? Anyway, one who keeps a Blog! I am just so slow at getting the thing updated. I don't know why? It is not THAT hard to do! Ok, my reason is (ya, ya, "excuse") that I can really only spend time on the computer in the eves and by that time of day I am DEAD DOG tired and just want to LAY on the couch!!! lol. It's true!! And even as I am trying to type this Rocky (the dog) is nudging away at my arm for some much deserved attention!! Sigh.....

Anyway!! I do have some pictures and small updates for you!!

I hope you enjoy! :-)
