My Advancing Children

Yaeli is such a parrot. It's really weird and pretty cool to hear phrases I say come out of her mouth. "Oh geez!", "Sophie, be quiet!", "I have to go to work". Pretty much anything I say on a regular basis comes out of her mouth.

Sophie on the other hand, is not talking quite yet but she has been mastering some other skills. If we sit her up she's basically able to stay sitting up for quite a long time. If we put her on her tummy she finds ways to make her way around a room without quite crawling. It's more of a backwards scootch. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth.

Sophie is also starting to eat solid foods and, with this, Yaeli is starting to develop some care-giving instincts. This morning she tried feeding Sophie her banana. Luckily we were there to stop her but we applauded her for trying to share. Make her feel good for her intentions while still preventing her from shoving half a banana in Sophie's face.

That's it for now. Next post will likely feature Sophie actually crawling.
