Look out! She's mobile.

So, the littlest one can now follow me around the house. She isn't what I would call "crawling" yet, but she can scootch herself around pretty fast. She does a 2-arms-forward, push-with-legs-and-pull manuever. So we're once again having to pick things up off the floor that an infant could choke on.

At least now we don't have to bring her with us when we move from room to room in the house...because, oh how she hates being in a room alone.

The cute names kids have for toys

Well, since Dan is due back pretty soon, I had better get a second post on here! Otherwise I will be mocked endlessly. So here's a cute story about our 2-year-old.

Kyria got a birthday present from her Grandmother. It is a pillow with a cat head. It can either be opened up into a pillow or folded up in the shape of a cat. This is her "cat pillow."

Last year, Kyria got a birthday present from her other Grandmother. It is a 3-segmented toy with wheels that she can pull along behind her. It is a caterpiller.

Unfortunately, now Kyria gets the words mixed up and calls them the same thing: Cat-a-pillow.
