Milestones for my conversation pieces...

It seems like the kids don't do anything new for absolutely ages, and then all of a sudden they do something really interesting.

This week, Dylan started singing WITH us.  This might not seem like a big deal to a lot of my readers, but he's never done it before.  He didn't start singing for a long time, and then he finally did at about 18 months.  But he would never sing at the same time as someone else.  He would quite happily fill in the words if you started him off, but would stop singing the minute someone else joined in.  Two days ago, we sang the theme song to Thomas the Tank Engine together.  It was so much fun!

And I'm not about to leave Edith out of this, because she did something amazing as well.  Yesterday she got up onto her hands and feet and Mowgli crawled, just like Dylan used to do.  She is so desperate to walk, and is taking all the steps to get there.  I really think she might be on her feet by the time she turns one (though I thought that about Dylan and he didn't walk until he was 15 months).  Which, get this, is in just about 6 weeks.

Where has the past year gone?
