Claire and Chloe are now on the countdown to their first birthday. Each day brings some new skill or development. It is amazing to watch. I think when you are the parent, you miss some of the "awe and wonder" of it all, or at least I think I did, or have forgotten . Maybe it is because you are so busy with the day to day responsibilities of caring for the child (or children). But, as grandparents, you can just "enjoy the ride" and take it all in.
The past few days we have been working on parts of the face, among other things. Both of the girls can point to their nose, or yours, if they are in the mood. Chloe has some more words in her vocabulary. The ceiling fan has interested both of them recently. Chloe will point and say "fa"...she can't quite get the the "n" sound. Today Claire decided it was time she join in the "high five" club. She had not been at all interested in taking part previously, while Chloe has "high fived" for a few weeks. I love that they seem to have different interests and progress at their own speed.
They each point to their individual pictures that are on the wall, when asked. Both girls, today, at different times, sat with a book in their lap jabbering as if they were reading. Below is a sequence of pictures that show them interacting and at play.
Yes, we have a climber on our hands. As you can see Chloe climbs on chairs, horses (above) or whatever is handy.
Here is a video of Chloe playing on the chair and Claire entertaining herself nearby. And, following that, a video of Claire walking and pushing the little Dora the Explorer car.
Here is wishing you a Happy and Blessed New Year!
