Stand by Your Sis

This is ridiculous. I mean I know they are going to grow out of little babies and into little ladies, but could we not turn into a toddler just yet? I may be exaggerating a tad since they are only 9 1/2 mos old... but today started out with Hannah and Leah pulling themselves up to standing position, and ended with Hannah figuring out how to crawl up the basement stairs. We also now have to figure out which toys they have access to that they shouldn't - ours and Joseph's - and figure out how to keep it all out of their reach. Like Joseph they are very interested in DVDs and Wii controls, and anything they can shove into their mouth. It's just harder to find places to put everything now! They both had their hands on everything today. While Leah may have been the first to crawl, Hannah has quickly caught up. Quickly being the key word...Hannah crawls at a frantic pace compared to Leah's calculated movements. Hannah also had fun mimicking my clapping today, while Leah wasn't too into it. Reading time was more her thing tonight, she was still for 5 whole mins!
