February Achievements

Both girls have had quite a few achievements already this month that I wanted to highlight.

Little Sister Harper:

  • She was at the doctor for a virus yesterday.  It seems that the high calorie formula is working.  She was up 11 ounces to 15 lb 11 oz!
  • She is pulling herself up on everything now.  She is even taking little steps while holding on to things.  She'll stand for a second and then fall to the ground.  She has learned to fall backward onto her tush, instead of face planting.
  • She has started crawling with her tummy off of the ground, except when she wants to get somewhere fast!
Big Sister Riley:
  • Riley has been doing great at gymnastics class.  After class on Saturday her teacher approached us to let us know that she wants to move her up a level.  Riley will now move from the toddler bunnies to the kinder bunnies class.  She'll be in a room with 4 1/2 and 5 year olds. She's 3 1/2.  Apparently, they don't mess around at this gym.  Riley is picking up on all of the skills so they want to try her in a little more advanced class.  She will stay in that class as long as she's not too scared.  Riley does well, but true to her personality she is hesitant.  She will insist on holding some one's hand when jumping off of things or hold herself back if it's beyond her comfort level at all. 
  • In class, Riley jumped up to the high bar on her own.  Her teacher made her come back and demonstrate to the rest of the class how to do it. She was beaming with pride and confidence afterward.  So much fun to see that in my little girl.  And fun for me when another parent commented on it to me.
