136 + 32 Weeks

We have had a good week, with Arley starting to crawl (yes, now we're in trouble!), and Carmie not crying at school, and with no major tantrums.  She still has her moments, but I am working out different strategies  of dealing with her.  Arley is really moving around.  He has been practising crawling for several days, and today he was really doing it.  He has his first cold though, so he is not in the best of moods.  He says a lot of "Mama mama mama", but he is not actually using it as a word (although it would be nice to think that Mama is his first word).  Carmie had a play date with Hannah, and both of them had a blast.  It's so cute to see them running around the house together.  All in all, a happy week.  And just today, Jeff's dad has arrived in Australia for a visit, so tomorrow the kids will be meeting their 'Pop' for the first time :)

A quick video of Arley practising crawling:

 Arley can now sit at the counter, and he loves being a big boy and being included in the action in the kitchen
