12th Month

It is a great joy to watch them do new things. Ethan is crawling, cruising, and can pull up on almost anything. He is cautious and seems to test the furniture to make sure it won't move or fall over.

Andrew is more vocal and can be so loud that sometimes he fools me and I think it is Ethan calling. He loves to clap his hands and try to make us laugh. He wants to stand often but unfortunately he doesn't get what he wants all the time so watch out, he may throw a fit. Oh what drama!

Ethan loves to explore. We have gates that keep him in the living room and dining room. I find it fascinating how careful he is with objects. He is always gentle and so far hasn't damaged equipment like the DVD player or computer. I'm not sure that Andrew will be the same way so it is probably good that he isn't crawling yet.

Andrew pulled up in his crib from sitting to standing yesterday, May 12. He watches Ethan closely as he crawls. He would love to follow him so maybe Andrew will work on his tummy time more. He loves to make noise so banging on Uncle Don's piano was a treat.
Speaking of treats, here's a humorous thing about Andrew. He tends to stuff 3 or 4 puffs, a cereal product similar to cheerios but dissolves more rapidly, in his mouth at the same time.
