10 months old

We have had a fun start to the month, getting into the holiday spirit! Will and Ada have turned 10 months old and continue to come into their own. They love to walk (holding on both hands so far) all over the house. Will has taken a number of one steps by himself, but then gets nervous and sits back down. Ada is our little dare devil, racing all over the house. She is gaining speed too, learned to bear crawl from A to B, crawling with her feet on the ground instead of her knees. She loves to sit at the stereo and play with the buttons. She will get hold of the volume control, look at us, crank it up, and smile/laugh. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Will, also a little ham, has figured out to talk when the grown ups are talking "blahblahblah", and when something is funny, he does this cute squinty-eye-wide-open-grin face as to like fake laugh. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Will and Ada also love to entertain each other when not using each other as stepping stools. One of their favorite games is to play with doors around the house--open, close, open while peaking around opening door, see the other on the other side and laugh, close again. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Love these little punkos. Enjoy the holiday season! Cheers!

"Helping" me decorate the tree, which we had to put on top of our entertainment system, as my children destruct everything in their path.

Santa's little elves. This is Amy tempting the busy bodies with sippy cups to sit side by side together for five seconds for elf-y twin photo op. Notice Ada eying up Will's drink...

...Ada promptly stealing Will's drink...

...Will, in protest, deciding he wants mom, not drink.

Ada double fisting it.

To every one sitting, facing camera picture, we have ten pictures similar to this. Here Will worried, Ada attempting to tear a lamp apart.

This one Ada scaling the chair.

One-step-Will.

Attempts at heart pillow photo shots have become just hilarious. It is like trying to wrestle a wild boar...two wild boars at that. My best shot at a photo with children in them are to make the pillow part of the furniture!

Girl had fun flopping on her pillow.
