Well, we did have crawling, more than the three-steps-and-I'm-finished kind of crawling, until David noticed his reflection in the diaper pail and decided to kneel up and talk to it.
Oh, well.
I just loved the sound of those fat little hands slapping the hardwood floor as he crossed the room. This is going to be fun. And the room is almost babyproofed . . . just in time.
This weekend we rearranged some furniture to separate the cribs. When C&D are napping they wake each other up. You would think after nine months of napping in the same room they would stop waking up with each other, but we have many days when we walk in to find them lying in bed, looking at each other, and wondering what exciting events (e.g., the cat walking in, sorting the diaper laundry?) they might be missing in the rest of the house.
So now a swing and crib is in the master bedroom, a crib and two dressers (mine and Matt's) are in the babies' room, and a swing and rocking chair in the back bedroom. A set of shelves in the living room for the babies' toys and books and socks and hats (the two types of clothing we are perpetually losing). We'll see how it all works. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish putting things away.
Tomorrow also the babies get to taste homemade cranberry sauce with their lunch. I think they'll like it. They certainly enjoy the pleasures of the table, gobbling up chicken curries and spiced sweet potatoes and cold, fresh pineapples with equal enthusiasm. The cranberry sauce should be no exception. We're still eating carefully, but we're avoiding our usual allergy suspects and the babies' little tummies lately seem pretty fine. Hurray!
