Sometimes hanging around the apartment during the
Portland winters can make a girl a little bored.
While their ability to tell us what they want is still limited, it is
becoming very apparent that they understand more of what we are saying.
When we ask if they would like to go for a walk,
it seems like they can hardly get dressed fast enough!
And then they are off! The days of always sitting in their stroller
are done. Now they love to explore the streets of Portland.
Their farthest walk so far was five blocks. Walking with Troy
makes walks much easier. Two little girls exploring the world
can make a walk seem like herding cats.
They love going to the park. There is always
lots of new stuff on the ground to pick up and show us.
The girls also like to go down the slide. Unfortunately, the rain
sometimes ruins that fun. They still find the slides fascinating
though, even if it is putting mulch on the end of the slide, beating it
with a stick, and then wiping it off with one big sweep of the arm.
Check it out.
Trinity likes to walk while holding hands.
Terra it still getting used to the idea.
Trinity even likes to walk holding a stick.
Inside, the girls stay very active. Their growing interest
in climbing has required a new level of baby-proofing.
It seem like they will climb on anything. One day we found
Trinity laying in the second level of her bedroom shelves.
Here we found Terra climbing up on Trinity to see if
there is anything on top of their box-fort.
And after getting dirty at the park, who doesn't love a little bubble bath?
Is Terra pretending to have a goatee like daddy?
After such a busy day, sometimes laying down
for a nap seems like too much trouble.
Until next time....
I'm gearing up to sell the girls infant car seats but just had to take one more pic of them for comparison.
