The Girls<\/em><\/p>\n The girls stayed with us last night. \u00a0This morning they made a birthday cake for Carrie and we made this circle garland that they hung back home as a little surprise. \u00a0We had to make grand plans of getting the cake into the car without their mom seeing and hiding this garland without stuffing it in a bag where it was sure to get tangled up. \u00a0We ended up hanging it in my closet until right before they left so that someone could hold the bag with the garland carefully on the ride home. \u00a0I’m not sure how tangled up it got, but Lucie sent me a picture of the finished product and it looked to have survived.<\/p>\n Betsy is pulling up on everything and will then cruise around, her favorites are the coffee table and the couch. \u00a0It’s a new world for us here! \u00a0She is getting very good at it, and also good at getting down from her standing position without falling. \u00a0Sometimes it takes her a while to get in the right position to squat down. \u00a0She was standing up at the window earlier and kept bending her legs, then straightening, then doing it over and over again until she finally sat down. \u00a0It was especially cute to watch because she only had a diaper on and she has some cute leg rolls and a real nice buddha belly.<\/p>\n We watched Toy Story with the girls this morning. \u00a0We hadn’t watched it in a while so Carson got really excited during a few parts. \u00a0The rest of the day he played with his Woody and Buzz toys saying things like, “Shield your eyes!”, something Buzz says to Woody at one point, and while banging them together and making fighting noises he says “Be nice!” because during the scene where Buzz and Woody are fighting underneath the car we talk about how it isn’t nice. \u00a0Later in the day he said, “You’re OK Woody. \u00a0But maybe you should cry about it.” \u00a0Have Ben or I actually said that to him or Betsy?! \u00a0Thankfully he said it all with a really sweet tone to his voice, but maybe that’s just his imitation of my sarcasm…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Girls The girls stayed with us last night. \u00a0This morning they made a birthday cake for Carrie and we made this circle garland that they hung back home as a little surprise. \u00a0We had to make grand plans of getting the cake into the car without their mom seeing and hiding this garland without … [Read more…]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/sWbPG-225365","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2262"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2262"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2267,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2262\/revisions\/2267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
