This was a big week for baby L and brother S. Baby L has officially taken her first steps! At not quite 10 months old. She is our earliest walker. I think it has to do with wanting to keep up with the big kids. She also had her first sink bath after dinner. Paul and Heather put cousin E in the sink regularly. It is super deep and works great to rinse off a messy meal. Baby L has not been willing to try it (without screaming) until now.
Brother S had his 3rd birthday this week. I made a sheet cake and drew the outline of Thomas the train on it. And then all of the older kids were supposed to outline it with M&Ms and Skittles from the leftover Halloween candy. When I came back to check on their progress Thomas had morphed into a wheeled cloud of candy on kitkat railroad tracks. At least they had fun making it.
Baby L is into Hotwheels too.
We had a great free add-on to S's birthday party - Train Day at the Library was this Saturday. They had several model trains from local clubs. M & S wore their costumes and everyone loved that.
They got to play with some of the electric train sets. One of the clubs gave out Thomas the Train magazines and train pencils.
They each got a free wooden train whistle and used it as part of the story time.
They also had a real standard train whistle that they kiddos could pull. Tons of Railroad birthday fun!
