Lili: I love this month because she turned 1!! Her birthday was wonderful, we had a beautiful day (see previous post)and the little princess acted exactly as that. Lili is learning to walk, if you give her a push along walker she can go all over the place, but she is not yet confident enough to walk alone. She will take up to 6 steps between people and furniture but that is all. Although today I gave her Noah's toy lawnmower to push which is so flimsy even the slightest pressure flips it over and she walked along pushing that for about 3 metres before stopping. So the kid can walk, she is just choosing not to right now! I love that she is learning more words and is starting to communicate with us. I love that she is becoming her own little person!
Noah: I love this month because yet again Noah's talking and communication is improving. He can have a whole conversation and tell you exactly what he wants. Sometimes he talks too fast or misses words but you usually can get the idea. I love that he is getting excited about playing with his sister, seeing her up on 2 legs and doing more means he can teach her more and is constantly calling out 'Nini, come on - this way!'. He will open the back door and call out to Lili to come too then wait for her to crawl out. He is being very affectionate, all kisses and cuddles and at times will just sit next to me and rest his head on my arm then stroke my face or kiss my hand. just to say I love you!
As always, I love every month and every month also has it's challenges. If I remember back to 3 years ago, none of those challenges matter and I remember how lucky I am to have what I have. "
