Sammy is now saying: uh-oh
As of today Sammy is walking between things (like the cabinets in the kitchen, a chair and me many steps away, etc.) She has become obsessed with socks and shoes, and I can't help but wonder if the new walking is due in part to the awesome pink pumas she has been sporting all day. (Thanks garage sales!)

Aaron wanted me to write that Harmon says: "That's funny Dad!" or "That's funny Mom!" He also is still waking up at least three times a night needing put back into his bed. Or the floor where he sleeps most of the time because that's where Dad snuggles him. (Toddler bed too small for Dad.)

the steps

so, Aaron posted on the real blog, but just for the ease of my record keeping (hah) Sammy took a good 4-5 steps today between the two of us. I am quite proud, but sad at how much more babyproofing it will entail. Does that make me a rude mother? Probably.

Mama!

Today during snack time Sammy (finally) quietly said "mamamama"! Happy!

End of Harmon's Teeth

Yesterday I happened upon Harmon's two bottom back (2-year-old?) molars poking through. All of Harmon's baby teeth have now been introduced to his mouth and I hope to write nothing more on the subject until they start to fall out at the appropriate time. Hallelujah.

Talks

Harmon says a lot of things funny. And a lot of funny things.



Everything that ends in -er becomes -et: tiget, digget, papet, cracket

"It's tickles!" (meaning it tickles)

"There goes Harmon!" (especially great when shouted exiting Sacrament meeting at church)

"It's Babyzilla!"

There are more, but obviously I can't remember them now.

Standing Monster

So, Aaron already posted this on the "main" blog, but it is worth mentioning that besides thinking she can walk on her own and yesterday pulled herself up to standing on the underside of the high chair (one hand on the leg and the other on the strap) today when I went to get her after her nap she was standing in her crib. Aaron of course rejoiced while I cried. Can we just skip the part where she learns to walk to the part were she is coordinated and doesn't break her face open?

For the Record

Harmon head-butted his lovely sister in the mouth, making her top gums above her teeth. Bad times had by all. Feel free to use this against him in the future, Sammy.
