Easter

Happy Easter!
We've had a busy weekend in the Sydney household. Maybe it's all the bananas she's been eating or something in the air but development seems to be the theme. Yesterday she couldn't stop waving and waved at everything including doors and windows. She has a cute beauty pageant or maybe Queen of England sort of wave with a little wrist action combined with the full arm movement.

She's been standing a lot more as well and we're trying to get her to push her little buggy around the room. Now she starts to get upset if we don't stand her up and put her against something to hold on to, so I'm accelerating my plan to install gates.

And finally, more a development for Maggie than anything else. I think she's been waiting since exactly 60 seconds after we found out we were having a girl in the ultrasound. She bought the hair ties when Sydney was about two weeks old and at last yesterday she pulled up that little crop of hair, measured it in her head and decided "yes!, the time was here". An internal dialogue I could see in the excitement of her eyes so she told Sydney to hold on one minute, raced upstairs and only moments later had the couple strands of hair bound up as she had always dreamed. Sydney didn't mind it and was accomodating for the pictures. Incredibly, she did not try to eat the rubber band.
