Eleanor and Henry had a fun week ending with a weekend with Papa and Mimi and Lala in charge.\u00a0 Henry is making some progress towards crawling – but hasn’t yet figured it out.\u00a0 He can make a bit of progress scooting and rolling, but down’t like to get up on his knees.\u00a0\u00a0 His top four teeth are realling coming in quickly now, and are readily visible.\u00a0 While sitting on the floor,\u00a0he is starting to try to pull\u00a0himself up to\u00a0a standing position.\u00a0 He can get his bottom off the ground, but hasn’t figured out how to get his feet under him\u00a0yet.\u00a0 Our next big projects are working on “m” and “d” sounds, and clapping.\u00a0\u00a0 Henry had his first “underdog” push in a swing this week (pictured).<\/p>\n

I think\u00a0Eleanor has decided\u00a0that it is time for her to\u00a0be in charge.\u00a0 On Sunday I asked her who should hold Henry while I fetched the train from under the couch and she decided that she should.\u00a0 She held him in her lap on the floor the whole time I was gone.\u00a0 And then for bed that night, she conducted her entire bedtime routine by herself, including singing the bedtime song, and then tried to climb in her crib by herself.\u00a0 She got Papa, Mimi and Lala laughing while playing with her punching penguin – who seemed to be running low on batteries.\u00a0 She proclaimed that we should hold the batteries higher\u00a0 :)\u00a0\u00a0 Eleanor helped Papa cook pancakes for the first time this weekend, turns out she is an excellent stirrer.<\/p>\n
