Being silly

Here are some funny pictures from the past week. They are starting to be more creative and funny in the things they do. The top picture is Will in a flower pot. Ellen got some for her birthday, which they were over here celebrating on Sunday night. They thought it would be funny to put them in there. The bottom picture is Will and Grace playing hide and seek in them. Middle picture is Grace having a seat in the shade on top of the picnic table. Then there is an action shot of Xander walking. I'd say he's walking about half the time now. He still is a little unsteady, but is starting to walk over and around obstacles. He likes to walk in circles in the kitchen. Other good news, Will has started taking steps on his own. He is even getting brave and letting go of what he's holding on to and trying to walk away. He doesn't get very far, but that's a step in the right direction! He walks all over the house pushing the walking toy and he really likes the freedom of that. It won't be long now until he starts going everywhere walking.

In other news, we have finally figured out that there are other animals in the world that make sounds other than "quack"! They all know sheep now. Xander also know snake. Grace makes a funny monkey and car (vroom, vroom) sounds. If you ask her "are you a tiger?" she'll growl. Will chats all the time, not even to really anyone in particular. They all sign more, please and now milk. We've even seen Grace sign "milk, please" together. We were impressed by that. They are following directions well, too. Especially Grace. Lately, we've been able to tell her to go get something "Grace, go get the book" or "Grace, give this to Xander" and she does it. Last night she threw her bottle on the floor, I put her down and I said "Go get your bottle." and she came back with it. Pretty good. Although, right now I am not so happy with her. She is not falling asleep for her nap. She's laying in her crib playing. What a stinker! Have a good week everyone!
