February 11, 2000

Hi everyone,

Cassandra is walking!! My little baby finally caught up to her sister. Julianna has been taking between five and eight steps in a row, and all of a sudden this week, Cassandra started taking her first steps! She did five in a row yesterday as she walked into my arms. It was beautiful. She was so proud of herself! She just smiled and giggled and watched me watch her with pride. Julianna watched her do it, too, and smiled.

The best reaction was from CJ -- he started laughing out loud and jumping up and down. He just couldn't believe it! It must be strange for him to see these little babies start to walk, just like him. I wonder what he's thinking?

CJ is getting so much better at talking. His interactive abilities improve each day. He and I actually converse about how his day went. He answers my questions with "yes" and "no," and can describe what he did during the day. It's so fun to talk to him! His big new thing is eating "Go-gurt," a new type of yogurt that comes in tubes. He likes to push out the yogurt and slurp it up -- he would eat several in a row if I let him. There are worse things!

Jules continues her "hi" conversations with me all the time. She can say hi 10 or more times in a row!

Have a great week!
