Monday...Rainy Monday

We spent our rainy day indoors playing with babies, reading books, coloring, watching Sesame Street (mainly Elmo), and just enjoying each others company.
***Side note about Elmo: She has learned how to sing the theme song, so once I catch that on camera I will post it!

We started the morning like we always do and ate our breakfast together. Ella is now sitting at the table like a big girl, without using her tray. She loves this, and it makes her seem so much older!



Ella had another chance at using her crayons and she did pretty well for the most part, but she still managed to sneak in a few "licks", so we decided to put those away for another rainy day...when she is a little older. :)


We have also learned how to climb up into the chairs at the kitchen table. I was in the other room and heard her saying"cheese" over and over, but could not figure out why. I walked in the kitchen to see her sitting at the table with my camera...check out the video below.




Along with climbing up into chairs, she has been able to climb onto the couch for a while now. It used to make me a nervous wreck, but I have gotten used to the fact that she is going to get up there whether I like it or not, so let her learn. She is actually very cautious and knows how to get down the proper way. With that said, she has had a few falls though, but has bounced right back up the minute after.

Here is a video of her playing on the couch and showing her "manners". :)



Hope everyone is having a great week!

She's a pro when she can climb, then grab the remote and point it to the television! That's funny.
I love this age, and seeing all of them doing the same things around the "same age" makes me laugh.
They'll love the next play date. We'll just let them crawl all over the furniture. FUN! I've got a great "See Who Can Climb on the Couch Quicker" game! LOL
