Developmental Milestones

Alex will have another 2 inches cut off her hair this week in an effort to get her to stop chewing on her hair. No matter how it is "done" when she heads off to school, each afternoon it is out and the front pieces almost always in her mouth. Either that or she's twirling them.

Plus, she's developed a "taste" for her fingers and thumb. Some of the children suck their fingers and thumbs and (accordingly) so does Alex. How frustrating! Maybe I could cut 2 inches off those as well...no?...maybe just ignore it and it'll go away...

Sebastien is coming ahead in leaps and bounds. He will "walk" when holding onto two fingers and loves to pull up (so long as it is to something his height - he isn't going higher...yet) and, of course, stand.

Plus he is on the verge of crawling - and I swear if we had carpet he would have already - the tiles are a little difficult to get a purchase on.

What a gorgeous big boy and so clever too. A big clap from all of us too. I hope you are working on the hand language with him Alexandra so that he will be a good as you were with it.
