Some October Highlights

When the girls had a picture day at school, Cora wanted to have one too! Here are a few of the pictures from then.

We had WOL playgroup at out house and made some delious pretzels. That is Cora with her "best cousin" Alena. These 2 girls loved it! They are going to be great cooks when they get a little older!


Cora is trying to hug Dimitri. It looks a bit more like she is taking him down!



During her picture day: She insited on holding her hand up in that pose with Barbie in her other hand!

Dimitri thinks (as most babies do) that the dishwasher is the best toy ever. Notice the sharp objects he has thrown on the floor! And he is holding a vase!... I guess I need to be better at keeping the dishwasher closed, so Dima will stay out of trouble!

So Dimitri was totally walking by the end of October. He was also waving bye-bye, and doing a few of the motions to "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star"! He can do "so big". He started saying a few words as well. He can say "Hi!", something like "Hello, there!" (usually he looks like he is trying to talk on the phone when he says that one.) He says "Mama" only when very upset, but says "papa"! (Sigh, I was hoping for Mama first!)
This video shows a few of these skills:

Enjoy!
