Always Something New

I know I've said this before.  And so has every mom ever.  BUT, I can't believe how fast the girls grow and how quickly they learn new things.

Apparently Ruby knows how to trace her hands,

and how to draw people.

I think I'm most facinated by all of Ruby's new tricks, because I won't have a clue she can do them, as in, she's never even attempted in my presence, until one day she just does it!  And well!

Ru rides in the stroller less and less these days, insisting on walking unless we're going for a run!

Ada has new tricks up her sleeve everyday too.  She is saying all sorts of new words daily.  She always called a cat a "meow", a bunny a "hop", and a cow a "moo".  Lately she just started saying "kitty" when she sees a cat.  She also starting to say two word phrases; "Hi Daddy" and "hat on".

And, of course, she's always trying to keep up with Ruby.  Trying on Ruby's "unnies"!

Ada has also learned how to climb out of her crib- she's had a good model.  Ruby climbs into Ada's crib most nights at bedtime and last week Ada climbed out several times.  We knew she could get out of the PNP, but were hoping the crib would be too much of a challenge.  The plan is to leave her in there for now.  We've told her she can't climb out and, ever since one loud crash, she hasn't.  Cross your fingers and knock on wood!

Ada's figured out how to open doors and is clever enough to go get the stool out of the bathroom when she wants something too high to reach.  Clever or trouble.
