Ellie is a crawling machine and Marcus is getting there. He can pull himself along pretty quickly with his arms, he just hasn’t gotten his belly off the floor yet. They are both walking along the furniture and pulling themselves upon everything. The are both getting a top tooth to go with their bottom two. Ellie is hell on wheels in her walker… nothing in her reash is safe! Marcus still only goes backwards but he grabs all he can reach too.

The both love pancakes and orange juice on Saturday morning. Ellie likes to dance and Marcus likes to sing. Austin has already worked out all the instruments they are going to learn so the three of them can have a band.

It’s hard to believe that they will be turning 1 in a few short months… geez, where did the time go?

Current Mood: Yeah! Yippee!

Twinnie Milestone! Baby Ellie Crawls!

Ellie and Marcus have been rolling and scooching for about a month now and recently pulling themselves up on their playpen wall and walking along it (for the last few weeks). Ellie is a bit further along than Marcus with getting into the crawling position but until tonight I’d only ever seen her go backwards. BUT… tonight Ellie crawled from the couch to her jumper (about 2 feet) and then later crawled across the playpen to get to me! So little Elle is officially a crawler!

Incidently, last weekend we had to lower the crib mattresses because I went in to check them and they were both standing, thankfully on the inside rail, just chatting it up and having a good time. Tonight, Ellie stood up in the crib and pulled down part of the mobile — so those are gone now.

My little monkeys are starting to get mobile, watch out!!

They didn’t seem particularly interested. Ellie sock was coming off and Marcus just leaned back for a nap-time!
