Piano Lessons

It's never too early to get your kids playing musical instruments, so we decided it was time for Tilly to get started.  So we set her up with a self-taught piano course.  Throughout November, Tilly has been practicing really hard.  She loves her piano lessons so much she started her own self-taught singing lessons.

Stand Up and Cruise!

The morning after Thanksgiving, Tilly greeted us by standing up in her crib.  I think all the time in her johnny jumpup got her ready to go.  It didn't take her very much longer to start cruising (walking) along whatever she could pull herself up on.  "Read more" for some pictures.

Thanksgiving

Today we noticed Matilda sitting up in her play yard.  She's been able to sit on her own for awhile, but today she pushed up to sitting all by herself!  This came in handy as we were busy getting dinner ready.

Matilda then slept through her first thanksgiving meal, which gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy it.  When she woke, she got to eat carrots, sweet potatoes, and of course turkey.  "Read more" below for more pictures of Tilly and her drumstick.

Clap Clap Clap

Matilda is learning tons of new things. Today, she started clapping! What's next, standing up?

MaMa vs DaDa

We were told most babies say "Dada" first, because it's easier to say. Well Matilda had no trouble with the "Mama," but soon refused to acknowledge anyone except for Dada. Well except for that Baba person. Who is that?

Look Who's Crawling 2

So it didn't take long for Matilda to figure out the crawling thing.  She's still not the best crawler, but she's moving much faster after just a few days practice and is even starting to get her belly off the floor.  Click the picture or link below to check out the 4 short videos showing the progression of her crawling skills.
