Show-offs

No pictures for today's post, just boring old WORDS. But life does not feel boring right now! (For the record, I tried to take a bunch of pictures on Tuesday but the girls were not cooperating. I have very high cuteness standards for what I will put on this blog.)

Walking on Sunday was not a one-time event for Miss Riley, she is definitely honing her walking skills this week. It's so cool. For those of you who know Riley as "the serious baby", you'll be surprised to hear she's really lightened up this week too. She's been much goofier lately. I think it helps that she finally popped out a molar that's been about 3 months in coming. Hailey's first molars seemed to come much faster.

While Riley is working on the walking, Hailey is getting a vocabulary. "Mama", "Dada" and "moo" aside, we have identified "Hi" (which sounds more like "ha" and serves as both "hi" and "bye") and "book". "Book" sounds more like "boo" but she also does the sign language for book when she says it. And I'm pretty sure she was saying "milk" last night at bedtime. Oh, and she's already been going around pointing at everything saying "Zat?!" for a few months, which I interpret as "what's that?"

So between Riley walking and Hailey talking, there's a lot of excitement this week. We're also attempting to go from two naps per day down to one, which is interesting. The sleep change is making Hailey cranky (she is definitely momma's girl), so it feels like the girls have switched personalities once again.

Who knew 14 months would be so exciting?
