More Climbing

Solvei is getting pretty good at climbing up onto the furniture. There are still a few places that she needs help with but she has figured out how for sure. Today she was practicing climbing up on the black chair in the living room (climb up, climb down, climb up, climb down….) when Nels decided to join her.

Then they found one of the toy cups and were sharing.

I also used the opportunity to play with my new lens a bit. It’s so much fun to take close-ups because they are so cute.

Got one of Gavin too.

My silly little Monkeys

Solvei has finally figured out that she can climb onto things as well. She has been trying for about a week now but her legs just aren’t as long as Nels’ so she hasn’t been able to. I finally got Christmas taken down earlier this week but hadn’t brought all the boxes to the garage yet, when Solvei discovered this box is short enough for her to climbing on. She was so proud of herself, that Nels noticed and climbed on with her.

Nels is such a ham!

And since the camera was out it attracted the big kids too (if it’s interesting enough to take a picture of I have to find out what’s going on!) so I got a few of them too.

They love Daddy

I have a picture of Nate with all the kids at the airport, when he was going back to the war after the twins were born, as the wallpaper on my computer. Every time I turn my computer on Solvei and Nels come over and point at the screen and say “Daddy” and then get mad when I open a program because it covers the picture. There is also another picture at the bottom of our stairs of me, Nate, Saedi and Gavin. The twins like to sit on the bottom step all the time and when they see that picture (which is often) they always point out Daddy.

I have this in our entry hallway.

 

Today I came into the hall looking for Solvei because she had wandered out of the living room and hadn’t come back for a few minutes. I found her sitting on the floor in the hall squarely in front of these pictures, pointing to them saying “Daddy,” and grinning repeatedly.

Nels has figured out that he can climb onto the chairs all by himself. Now he won’t stay off the furniture. I can not take him into the living room without him climbing on the couch or chair. He is so proud of himself for doing it too. It’s so cute and such a pain all at the same time.
