Aleah Standing

Aleah is standing up. She likes to walk alongside the couch. She has been doing this since we got back from our trip. Every once in awhile she falls back. Yesterday she was standing around watching Braden and Kyle play on the couch and one of them accidently knocked her over. She landed back on her head. She didn't get hurt but it sure scared her! She did not breathe for about 6 LONG seconds so I turned her quickly on her belly because I didn't know what else to do. That didn't help, she still wouldn't breathe and another 3 to 4 seconds passed. I started to panic because it was long enough that I thought she was going to pass out. I started talking to her calmly and in soft tones to get her to relax and she finally took in a small breathe. Whew! If she would have waited another second I think it would have been too long but thankfully she was ok. She was as white as a ghost for about 20 minutes. None of the boys ever did that when they cried. But, she is getting so fun and her personality is really starting to come out. She's really playful and loves to look at herself in the mirror. She loves to go exploring with her brothers and they love to hold her and play with her. Her first tooth is coming in so she is starting to bite me when she nurses and it hurts! She sticks her little tongue out because she's starting to feel that tooth come in. She says the words "dadda," "mamma" and "hi".

Braden is learning to write his name well. He did a pretty good job except for he wrote the d upside down. He did it all by himself! He loves to color and is getting better and better at every day. So is Kyle!
