I thought I would give an update of all the things Cynthia is up to these days. She jabbers all the time, although a lot of it cannot be understood! :) She is walking, almost running! She is starting to learn to climb on things...I'm not really encouraging this one though! Daily she entertains us with things she comes up with and things she does. She is a very smart little girl (and it's not just me being a biased mommy!)
On the down-side, she's into EVERYTHING and I think I tell her no about a million times a day!
We're working with her to tell her she's a big girl now so hopefully the transition to having a baby sister in about 8 weeks will go a little smoother!
Playing wise, Cynthia loves to play with her dolls and it's neat to see her with them. She also has a little toy piano that she loves! She will sit for quite a while and look at books with us. We get tired of reading long before she does!!
Here's a list of some of her accomplishments for those who are interested in reading my bragging! :)
