Adorable A-Team

Abbey walks. She takes 6-7 steps sometimes more, stops and regroups. She sits herself down or holds onto something. It's adorable. Adam doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. I'll say LOOK ADAM! and he kind of looks at me like what's the big deal?

Today I walked into the dining room and she had picked up the door snake and the welcome mat and were walking around with them ...or should I say toddling...and whipping them around...seriously!

Two nights ago, we put in Madagascar. I bought for him before he was one and he wasn't impressed at the time. We put on the second half last night. Now, Adam does like cartoons now. There are only a handful that he will sit and smile at. And last night, for the first time, he burst into laughter when the lion was dancing. He did it twice. Adam is not easily amused and usually only laughs like that when he's being tickled or chased. This is the first time I've seen him laugh like that while being "entertained". It was adorable!

Starting to work more on Adam listening. He chucked a cup in the kitchen the other day and I told him to pick it up. He shook his head no vehemently, telling me he was taking a "stand". Five time-outs later, he picked it up. And I held in my temper. Because with Adam, if I yell, he acts like he has "won" and disciplining him is even harder. Anyhow, something must have stuck because he chucked a cup again this morning in the kitchen and I told him to pick it up and he ignored me the first two times and the third time he picked it up and handed it to me!
