This was at about 1o pm one night during a thunderstorm. We had got the boys to bed really late this night and Jason and I were both in the downstairs bedroom working on the computer and they came down because they were scared. Since we continued to be productive and we knew even if we took them upstairs they would be down again in two minutes we let them hang out for a bit. If you look closely Pierce has a bug catching net in his hand and told us he was 'catching the lightning' and Holt had his helmet on 'to block the lightning.' Love these imaginations!
The stairs. The first few weeks Camden learned to climb the stairs I would say "Camden, sit on the step on your bottom" and amazingly enough she would do it. Sometimes putting her fingers in her mouth and just swinging her legs, looking at us. Jason and I thought this was great, really one of our children actually listens to us. Oh, but this was short lived, now we are chasing her up the stairs to catch her. The girl is seriously on the move and I can't even give justice to her climbing abilities. She will climb anything and everything. At the beach she would manage to get right up onto the chairs at the table and just sit and smile at us. By the end of the week she managed getting up on the table. She is also starting to babble lots, loves playing peek a boo, and knows what she wants when she wants it. She loves to be chased and is full of joy. We also had her eye checked and the Dr. said it is fine, we will go back in 6 months to have them rechecked.
This was in Philadelphia when I went up for my granddads funeral. I was so proud of myself because my dad brought a basket full of clean laundry up from the cellar and I volunteered to hang it on the clothes line. I even managed to find the clothes line and hang them across the patio. I thought I had done a great job...until my dad called my grandmother outside and was laughing. Who would of known you don't fold towels and t-shirts over and you have to shake the clothes out first. My grandmother did tell me she was proud of me for the effort after I got a lesson in the correct way :) And yes to this day my grandmother has never had a dryer, I love that and I imagine she would not even want one if you offered it to her. So for my aunts who didn't get to see my lovely job in person this one's for you. If you want to see the post my cousin wrote about my granddad scroll down to the June 10th post, I didn't inherit her gift of writing, she's so good with words.
