Ria is, as mentioned earlier, sitting nicely now (finally!). She creeps along on her belly everywhere, but doesn't do a proper crawl yet. She's working on pulling to her knees, but not quite there. She seems to have decided that only wimpy babies roll, so now she only propels herself in a linear fashion, beeline for the item in question. Her current goal is to climb stairs....again, not quite there yet ;-). Her "words" are "kitty" ("Ki-ee", or "ka" for "cat"), "t-th" for "teeth", "da-da", and "buh-buh" ("brother"). We can usually tell she's using her "words" only when the item in question is in the room with her, being stared at. 6 teeth still. Haven't weighed her or measured her in a while.
Our big 4 year old (39 1/4 inches, 37.2 pounds) is entering year 2 of pre-school next week (eep! Kindergarten in just one year!). He rides his bike (with training wheels) quite well now. He reads quite well (especially his favorite: Calvin and Hobbes!). He loves to build things, and loves to make Ria laugh (especially when he doesn't think we're looking ;-). He's just a lovely sweet boy.Here he is with his cool Indian Headdress he built from his new Erector set:
and blowing out the candles on his cake:
