Growing Grays: Walking and running

Walking and running

Just a typical Saturday morning in our Halloween costumes.

Team work - pushing their picnic table up and down the hall together.

Our big news this week is that Hadley is officially a walker....and a runner. It took her a little longer than Miles to start walking but all of a sudden one day this week she just took off - no hesitation - running and speed walking around the house. She looks like a little 2-foot tall whirlwind cruising around everywhere (usually going in all of the rooms we don't want her in). Her favorite walk is to head into Miles room when no one else is in there so that she can lay on his pillow. She now officially is giving Miles a run for his money. I think Hads will be our wild child.

I can walk and carry my toys!

Hey! Where did my ball go?

Even though it's hard to tell from these pictures Miles has not felt 100% since he got an ear infection 1 1/2 weeks ago. This Friday he also had a fever that persisted through today so I finally took him in again. He's on an oral antibiotic for his ear and has sores in the back of his throat that indicate Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. He's been sluggish and has no appetite. It's probably just a matter of time before Hadley gets it too.

Cooling off in the pool.

In a moment of both energy and spontaneity Miles struck this pose just as I was snapping the picture.

Hadley couldn't just watch Miles eat a Popsicle - she insisted (by signing "please" over and over again) that she have one too. This is her first one and she loved it!
