Happy January! I wanted to share a video of E's new crawling and pulling-up skills, and I've included a few photos as well.
The eldest kiddo is full of "boy energy" these days and needs as much outside time as possible. When he gets too restless inside, we ask him to do fifty jumping jacks, and then he feels much better.
The second born likes to narrate her life with a wide variety of verbs. She's always talking about "darting over" somewhere, and uses a lot of other phrases that sound rather like she's been listening to Thornton W. Burgess books. We even get third person-- "I don't want to do that, she murmured," is something she actually said today.
The little one is growing big fast! He clearly understands a lot of words and is constantly on the move. See the video below for an example.

Here he is, on the move and trying to get hold of a book:
This one shows him eating, but he's already gotten A LOT better at feeding himself.
