Ella has been close to walking for a couple weeks now, but all of the sudden Paul caught up to her! They are both putting together 3, 4 and 5 steps at a time walking. Neither of them are as confident with it as Logan was when he started. He just took off and started walking everywhere. Paulie and Ella are more cautious with it and are still doing 90% crawling! But they both get soooo excited to take those steps (arms raised) and walk to anyone willing to catch them if they fall : )
Unfortunately as I'm writing this, everyone except Christi is sick (including me!). Luckily, the Benadryl kept them sleeping last night (and hopefully tonight) because Thursday night was brutal. Both Ella and Paul were up for good from 3am on. We took them to the doctor Friday morning to check for ear infections, etc and they were good to go. They just have a summer cold - complete with coughing, runny noses and lots and lots of sneezing. The sneezing usually gets a good laugh out of them when anyone does it though - so that keeps the mood light!
I'm planning on locking myself in the office for a few hours to try and complete (or at least get close to completing) the babies "one-year slideshow". There's sooo many pictures and thoughts on music selection, etc! It's hard work : ) Not to mention that some of those NICU pictures bring back the memories of those months in the hospital. It's obviously a story with a happy ending, but remembering all the worry and stress gets difficult sometimes as many parents (if not all) can relate to.
By the way - the picture above....those are built-in bookshelves that Logan found a way to climb into. He's definitely the trouble maker! I was torn b/n telling him "NO!" and "GET DOWN!" and taking the picture. Well, as you see the picture won out : )
Anyway, I'm going to work on the slideshow now so I'm signing off until next time.
