Getting Bigger: Climbing and Cuteness

Another week, more pictures. This last week...nothing too exciting! I am now in my 2nd trimester. Yipee...here is to 14 weeks. I can't wait until I am out of the fat phase and actually look a little pregnant and not just bloated! I can feel the little bean a little bit every once in a while. That is kind of fun...the little bean freaks out a little when I sneeze...maybe because I sneeze at least 7 times in a row. Ha!

I am not the only one who is getting bigger! Brooke is learning a whole lot of new tricks lately. She can now climb on chairs, the Luv Sac, our fireplace (which gives me a heart attack every time I catch her up there!) and onto the couch. YIKES...we now have a little monkey, now she just needs to learn how to get off of these new surfaces, so I don't freak out when she manages to climb up on them! She is also still on the blabbering stint. Her words so far. Yea, Yeah, Yes, No, Go, Aurora (which is the name of all princesses), E-I-E-I-O (which goes along with "Old MacDonald), Mama, Dada, and she mimics just about everything else. She is a little parrot. She holds full on conversations with herself, with us and any person who will listen!

Some cute pictures of the munchkins and suckers! Tori likes to play Peek-A-Boo with Brooke while she is in her highchair. It is really funny and I got it on video...maybe one day I will upload it!

Here is Brooke's step by step demonstration of getting on a chair. Then she goes and stands on it! YIKES...can you say heart palpitations! She is having a blast though...do you see that smile?! Oh and the last pictures she is whipping up a little soup. My favorite is that she will take the spoon out and slurp off of it!

As for more cuteness...here she is...Tori is a lot of fun. She is so funny and loves to get into all kinds of mischief. The top left picture is of Tori giving herself a spit bath! Lovely. The bottom middle is Tori teaching Brooke how to climb on the fireplace. I love the "What...am I doing something wrong?" look. The bottom left is Tori trying to be taller than her dad. She gets up there and freezes. She is not so much a fan of heights. We brought the Luv Sac into the Living Room again for a little bit. Tori LOVES to cuddle and watch shows on it. Her favorites right now are the "Little Einsteins". She also seems to be growing out of afternoon naps...NOOOOOoooo! Anyway, until next week!
