Screaming

Colin has learned how to scream - literally. I'm not talking a little squeal. He thinks this is great and uses it at will - when I walk out of the room, when his toy isn't doing what he wants it to, when he can't (sort of) crawl as fast as he wants to...you get the idea. I mentioned when I walk out of the room. This is generally a scream that turns into a cry as Colin has become a bit clingy. He has always been a mama's boy but he has definitely been more clingy over the past few days and I'm hoping it is just a phase. It's something I don't know exactly how to handle.

So Colin kind of crawling. He gets up on all fours and then rocks and then lunges himself forward on his belly. He just can't figure out those hands yet. Leah started rolling from place to place and is doing sooo much better with being on her tummy. I seriously thought there for a while that she was just not going to crawl because of her hatred for tummy time. It is still not her favorite and she doesn't like being on her tummy as much as Colin does as she would rather sit up which she does so well. She loves to sit on the quilt on the living room floor and play with her toys - especially the magic mirror. This is actually a favorite of both of them and they especially love it when mommy sings along. Yes, I know all of the magic mirror songs and the order that they play. I also know their favorite ones and their favorite parts of the songs. They both love "Head and Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" and "If you're happy and you know it" and the peek-a-boo part of one of the other songs.
