Today’s newsflash

Emily isn’t crawling upstairs anymore. She put her hands on the bannister and walked up on her own.

She also sat down at the ‘big table’ in her kinderzeat, looked up at me and said ‘snacks, lunch now ok?”

People smiled, we smiled.

New favorite things: boohbahs..there must be some weird baby frequency this is on. Alex told me that Ripley is entranced as well. They are much more weird than the Teletubbies.
