Andrea is growing up faster and faster! On the 16th, she took her first 2 steps. Anthony and I were in the office and he was holding her in his lap. Then he decided to put her down. We’ve been trying to get her to stand more often (she’s been standing by herself for a few seconds at a time for a few weeks now), so he set her down, standing, a few feet from him. She then took 2 steps and walked right back into his hands. I was so excited that we were both there to see it! We then spent about 20 minutes trying to get her to walk again, and she would just sit on the ground and laugh at us every time we stood her up.
Then today I was holding her and she was fussy, so I asked, “Do you want some cheese?” and she stopped fussing and smiled and me and said, “Peesh!” I know it’s silly sounding, but I am SURE she was saying cheese. Throughout the day, I’ve been trying to get her to say “cheese” again, and she has repeated it a few times. She is trying so hard to say it right, and it’s already getting closer. By the end of the day, it sounded like, “seej.” She also likes to throw things on the ground and say, “Uh oh!”
She has 2 more teeth about to cut through, and when I put Sarah in timeout, Andrea slowly crawls over to her and talks quietly to her and tries to cheer her up. She ADORES Sarah, and she is definitely a Daddy’ girl. Whenever we leave the girls with anyone, she is always super excited to see her dad when we pick them up, and refuses to come to me. I’ll be honest, it’s hard not to let it hurt my feelings.
As for Sarah, we finally set up our tiny Christmas tree and the Nativity on our mantle. Sarah is SO EXCITED. She keeps running in circles and screaming, “I LOVE CHRISTMAS!” I told her it was time for bed, and she said, “I’m pretty sure gonna sit in the chair and wait for Christmas!”
What in the cuteness?!? I’m pretty sure I’m gonna sit in the chair and wait for Christmas… Oh she’s adorable!
