Teething & Walking

Hannah's two top central incisors finally surfaced just before Thanksgiving, and Leah sprung a new top tooth as well to the side of her already prominent middle chompers. You'd think Joseph was teething too with all the fingers and things he's been shoving into his mouth (then again, he also shoves his hands into his pants, but no foreign objects yet) Both girls are also getting more interested in walking, though in totally different ways. Leah enjoys holding your hand and walking her way across the room in a diagonal sort of manner, pushing on a toy for support, and carefully navigating the single step needed to cross from a table to a couch. Hannah takes a different approach. She stands up on her own without holding anything and then balances herself before taking several steps, falling down, and starting over. Last night she made it almost 10 before her hands hit the ground! Though both girls seem to appreciate applause, which generates a lovely view of their latest teeth. Tickling also works on the girls and Joseph.
