Tanner and Mandy

Tanner has made great progress with his speech the past four months since he started going to Pre-school. His transition to Sunbean is a lot better than I thought. Lately he loves to watch a DVD about ABC. He tries to sing along. Sometimes he asks me to sing. He can count to 10. He knows his color and shapes. He has gone with different phase of favorite movie. We have watched ‘Finding Nemo’, ‘The Sound of the Music’, ‘Polar Express’, and Baby Einstein movies every day for couple times a day.

Mandy is 10 months old and has four teeth. She likes to eat Mac Cheese and Spaghetti. She loved to eat infant rice cereal. She can walk along a coffee table. She only takes one nap now and is very active (crawling everywhere). Ryan and I told her that shoes is dirty, not a toy. We caught Tanner telling her the same thing when Mandy tried to reach a shoe. There were couple times Tanner told Mandy ‘not a toy’ when she touched his toy.

Tanner likes to eat Baby Puff. Ryan and I teach Tanner to take turn by saying ‘ Tanner’s turn’ when he put one in his mouth and ‘Mandy’s turn’ to indicate it is time to put one in her mouth. Tanner loves his little sister and sometimes can stop her cry. Before she can crawl, he often asked to hold the baby. He likes to kiss her. There are other times he pushes her over and get her cry.

Mandy surprised everyone last Saturday. We were at Ryan’s mom house for a birthday party. Her house has stairs, and we live in apartment (no stairs). One time when we visited his mom, we noticed Mandy was at the bottom of the stairs. I lifted her leg to one step. Last week, I saw her crawling up several steps.
