Carter Taft- He can reach the garage door opener on tippy-toes and open the garage, for some reason that made me sad. He's getting so big so fast...
-He is an amazing scooter-er! We move the furniture and set up a course inside (I use Joe's scooter) and he can lap me within three times around the course. He's super quick, can turn a corner on a dime and has little fear (so he HAS to wear a helmet at all times).
-Carter and I were SUPER sick on Wednesday and once when I had to excuse myself to go lose my lunch (or whatever I lost, I hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours), I came back to find Carter feeding Ellie her applesauce. What a helper.
-I discovered this week that he can, and wants to, get dressed all by himself. I know this should have come sooner but I stunt his growth so he will stay young and dependent on me :). Apparently it's not working...
-He can carry Elise, though I might add this is a super supervised activity :).
Ellie-Belly
-grabs my hand & pushes it away when I am sucking her nose, or feeding her yummy food that she doesn't like the texture of (I may have my first picky eater)
-her hair is finally growing, it's long enough to use a little elastic band!
-she has learned to clap. It's adorable to watch them try to get those hands together and miss but then to have sweet success and flash a giant grin :).
-she can drink out of a sippy cup like a champ. As a side note, Carter weaned himself at this age but Ellie is still going strong in the nursing department.
-she crawled her first few paces yesterday, though she then flattened out on the floor and resorted to reaching. My kiddos are a little slow in this area and while it worried me with Carter, with Ellie I don't mind a bit because I know how much harder life is with a mobile child. Which reminds me we should probably go buy gates today...
-she is the best waker-upper I have ever seen. She smiles, plays peekaboo, laughs for no apparent reason and pats my back rigorously when I first get her out of bed.
Here is a rare picture of me and my munchkins. So now people can know that yes, my children do have a mother...

So fun!! It is so fun how quickly kids grow up and learn things. Jaxon isn't a clapper, I can't get him to clap his hands at all! He will give me five, but he won't put his own hands together. I am glad that Ellie is crawling! And I love that gates go up immediately and doors are kept closed. You have such a great family and you are such a great mom. I love you!
I love the mini clip in Ellie's hair. So cute!
so cute! It's fun to see the older sibling able to do so much but I'm with you ... it's a little sad all at the same time!!!! I love seeing your family grow!
