Here’s another video of Celia finding some new toys. The cat toys that is. She’s figured out how to get under my desk whereas Josie just repeatedly hit her head and got annoyed with it.

Here’s Celia playing with some light on the floor after falling down.

Celia likes to help us all brush our teeth. Won’t let us put a toothbrush in her mouth, but if we hand it to her she sticks it right in.

They play nicely, side by side. Celia chewing on Josie’s wooden ipod, Josie playing with her magnatiles.

Then Celia makes a lunge for the toys Josie has. Josie tries to block her, despite the fact that she literally has 100 of those blocks. She wants THAT one. Hear a loud ‘CELIA!’

Then Celia cries, having been thwarted.

See Josie move further away to play, but not really far enough.

Here’s a quick glimpse into some typical playtime in our house. Parents trying to ‘rest’ during playtime. Josie trying to give everyone shots. Celia making funny noises.

Celia has learned how to stand up from the ground. One day later than Josie did. Josie did this on her 8 month birthday, Celia’s was yesterday, but she had a short month (February) in her first 8 months of life and Josie didn’t. So you know… it’s about the same. My kids are crazy. I managed to get it on video though because she had just tried and fallen once so I pulled out the ipod!

Celia is progressing on a daily basis now with her walking. If I walk away from her when she wants me, she will let go and start going after me now. Depending on how well rested she is, she can often make it over to me. Or more often I see that she’s walking and I gush over how she’s walking and bend down to pick her up.

This video is a few days old, so she’s even more steady now.

Well Celia has decided to let go and walk more. She can now also turn herself around while walking, so she is no longer restricted to the options of sit or go when you stand her up to walk. She has gone about 4 ft maximum walking now, but she can’t get herself off the floor to standing yet without something to pull on.

Josie has started to sort things. By color, by shape. She had never seemed to notice before. Makes an over-organized mom proud.

Celia’s 5th tooth came in overnight. I miss sleep.

I just thought this photo happened to be kinda neat, even with the random expressions.
