We Are So Full Of...Proudness

Here's Abby doing some light reading about babies (what else?) in the junior IKEA chair. Scooter is generally occupying the adult size one so she sticks with this chair. I love that she can climb up there but only get out by basically flipping the whole chair forward. She doesn't hurt herself, but gets angry every time that it flips. She really enjoys her books. After bath we just leave her in her room while we get Alex ready for bed and she sits on the floor surrounded with her books.

Abby's always ready to eat. She walks over to her booster seat and stands there moving her mouth up and down in a chewing motion and fusses until we sit her in the chair. In her mind it is always meal time, or snack time, or bottle time, or just sit in the booster and watch a movie time.


Abby is much happier this week. She did not cry at Baby Boomers this morning, instead she was incredibly social and playful. I still did not sign her up for another session of this class and think we'll wait a few months until she's old enough to appreciate it all a bit more.

Alex has asked to play soccer again in the Spring and while we were surprised that he wanted to sign up, we will continue to encourage any of his interests. He continues with his ice skating and is doing marvelous with all aspects of the sport. He has been moved up to the next level for the next session. I believe this takes him from "intro" to "basic".

The title of this blog post is from Alex's current favorite movie, Surf's Up. He's also enjoying renting the kids movies each week from the movie store. Max and Ruby is a show on Nickelodeon (which we do not get on TV) but there are several DVDs of the show which Alex loves to watch.
