Cruisin'

Things are finally starting to seem a little more normal around the Blum house. The painting was finally finished last week (which took three times longer to do than they said it would). But, we are very close to having every thing back together again finally.

The boys are amazing. We have had so much fun today! They are learning to do new things all the time now. Nick now knows how to cruise (only to the right, though) and he can crawl, but only backwards. It's hilarious because he does it just to get upset with where he ends up. Alex can pull himself up like a pro now, and today learned how to pull himself up in his crib. We lowered the his matress just this past Tuesday, so we did it just in time!

If you were feeling bad for Alex after the toy stealing post, don't. He is now the better toy stealer, and he has even branched out into binkie stealing, eye glasses stealing, and attempted hair stealing (ouch).2/4 Half smile from Nicholas In a rare moment, Alex is content to be lying on his back. Nick is completely into one of his favorite toys - a whale that Susan bought him.
Proud to be standing, Nicholas only needed the tiniest nudge to get into a standing position.
When he was in the exersaucer, Alex wanted nothing to do with it. But standing up next to it makes all of its toys so much more exciting!
Happy, happy Nicholas
