this past week has been relatively uneventful...in a good way. we spent a lot of time just hanging out, going to the park and lounging around the house.
jackson is officially walking crawling - he's slow going as he puts one hand out and then follows with the leg but he's definitely covering ground. he's also been moving himself from his tummy to a partial sitting position (he still puts weight on one arm as he pushes himself up). he literally never sits still when on the ground...watching him figure out all the new positions has been fascinating.
livi is happy as a clam just laying on her tummy and spinning around to reach what she's looking for - who needs crawling?!? she's been quite chatty lately - instead of just making some random sounds, it now actually seems like she's "talking"...granted it sounds like "dadadadadada" but it's still pretty impressive.
the constant change we're seeing in this first year has been nothing short of amazing. as their personalities are becoming more apparent, we're really appreciating them as individuals. after dinner tonight, john and i were sharing a romantic dessert of oreos and talking about how much fun it's going to be when we get to teach them how to eat their first oreo - dunk in milk or twist apart to eat the filling?!? we proceeded to get some laughs thinking about how if left alone, jacks will likely have a pile of 10 chocolate wafers and the vanilla filling smeared all across his face. on the other hand, we envision livi with a brown cookie mustache telling us she had cereal for breakfast. =)
