Children get older...

I worked with the baby a bit today on drinking from a cup. She's starting to get it! It helped to take the stopper out, but then dropping the cup becomes a bit more of a mess.

The little guy has started dramatically stretching before singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame, because they sing it at the seventh inning stretch (You have to stretch!). He'll make you stretch before he'll sing it to you, too. We should sign him up for theater or dance or something-- he's got such showmanship.

The poor guy was playing with something today and he didn't want the baby to get it, so he put it maybe eight inches in front of her. She crawled over and grabbed it, like, immediately and he was SO confused. I told him that he had to put stuff up on a table to keep it away from her because she's crawling now, but she's already trying to pull up. His world is about to be rocked.
