I was up early this morning with Cole because he leaked through his diaper and was wide awake by the time I had a new diaper and sleeper on him. I think I'll be heading back to bed soon, though, since he's falling asleep and Accalia's still asleep.

Cole is SO active. He seems to constantly need movement and/or the stimulation of other people when he's awake. There are times where he's perfectly content to ride around in the sling with me, but he's much happier when there are other people to look at and interact with during that time. So different from Accalia. Cole's reached that wiggly baby stage where the instant I put him on his back to change his diaper, he rolls right over and is trying to reach for something. He hasn't quite figured out crawling forwards. He usually scoots back a little or to the side or in a circle and gets extremely frustrated doing it. Cole also has started imitating us waving hello - at least I think that's what he's doing. When he sees one of us if we've been out of his sight, he'll jerk his arm up and down a couple times. So far he seems to be a rightie. Accalia is most definitely a leftie.

Accalia has boundless energy, too! Geez, I really wish these kids would pass some of it along to me. LOL! She's really become interested in scissors over the past few days, so she's been having fun cutting up paper. And amazingly, she hasn't made any moves to cut up anything that wouldn't make me very happy. Yesterday I was making blueberry muffins (from a mix), and Accalia decided to butter a piece of bread. She's an amazing bread butterer. So she did that and then proceeded to break up tortilla chips and layer the piece of bread. She thought it was very yummy. Then she took a scissors and cut up the piece of bread. LOL!
