Up to no good!

We have two silly little munchkins on our hands! Katie loves getting into small and odd places and this weekend found two of her favorites. She has learned to sit on the edge of the baby pool we keep in the living room for her to play with and turn it over on top of her. She then proceeds to scoot around the whole kitchen with it over her head while laughing hysterically. If you take it off of her head she giggles like crazy and then tries to get back under. We were letting her do it for a while until Tyler started trying to jump on top of it.

Katie is under there - not good!


When she grew bored with the baby pool fun she started testing every cabinet in the kitchen to see which ones she could get into and found the one that does not have the childproof lock on it! It had measuring cups and that sort of thing in it which you would not think would be dangerous until Tyler pulled the glass one out and dropped in on Katie's head. Lance was watching the kids at the time (I had to go look for some actual work type clothes that fit these days - it has been about 6 years since I had to wear business attire and the new gig requires it) and he removed everything from the cabinet thinking it would make it less interesting. Nope - that meant it gave Katie somewhere else to climb into.


Tyler wanted her to get out so he could give it a try.Tyler is walking about 50% of the time now and doing great. He really took off on Sunday and just started walking every chance he got. That, of course, meant that the inevitable bumps and bruises started too. In one of his jaunts across the kitchen he was sidetracked by trying to get into the fridge and fell against it. Poor little guy hurt his face pretty bad, but after some comforting from dad forgot all about it and started walking and playing and talking (he has lots of new words these days - his favorites are uh oh, ma ma, and bye) again. I, being the worrywart that I am, called the doctor, called my mom, and asked Lance to call his dad just to make sure we shouldn't worry about swelling and his temple and concussion, etc. We were told by the doctor to wake him every two to three hours and I did at 10:00 and midnight and when he was more irritated than hurt I stopped waking him and just checked on him - he was fine, but of course a little grumpy this morning since I kept waking him up. They both love fruit - peaches and pears are their favorites. Tyler might be a budding vegetarian - doesn't like meat at all. Katie likes pretty much everything, especially cheese, but the girl gets very, very excited come fruit time! It's probably a good thing that we don't give them fruit juice (just water and milk and occasionally carrot juice) - Katie would be addicted!
