Gifted? Maybe Not

So Olivia has learned a new trick. She has figured out how to climb up and into her own walker. You might ask, "Did you teacher her?" Well, no I didn't. When I saw her do this the first time I though...gifted? Watch for yourself!


Then, I came to the sorry conclusion that she was in fact NOT gifted. (At least not at climbing in the walker correctly). However, she may still be gifted at maneuvering!


For those of you who actually think I am one of those moms that thinks my children are gifted in all areas... you are wrong. They are just gifted by God in certain areas... which are not necessarily normal:
- Scooting for transportation (Sophie)
- Winking (Evie)
- Climbing in their own walkers (Evie does now too)
- Steering backwards in a walker (Olivia)
- Head-banging to Brad's music in the van

However, these are also true:
- None of them are walking yet
- Olivia doesn't have any teeth yet
- The only words Sophie says are "Jibber Jabber" literally!

I love them! They are odd like their parents!

My Visitor Counter

Has everyone noticed my Visitor Counter on the right side of my blog page? It lists the cities of my fellow blog viewers. I find it very interesting that so many cities, where I know NO ONE, are showing up. Who lives in Bokchito, OK? I don't even know where that is! If you are from there (apparently there are 14 viewers) leave a comment and tell me who you are. Interesting, but not the most interesting. The one that boggles my mind the most would be the city if Patzun. Yes, it is the only city that doesn't have the American Flag by it. I don't even know what country it is in! Does anybody out there know? Weird! If you did not like this post, too bad. When I am tired, I have random thoughts. If you want better material, look at my previous post. It was much better.

The Girls' First Year (at a glance)

Here it is! Now, this is my first attempt at such a high tech creation. I realize it might be a little grainy & jumpy. It is not on my computer or DVD. When I had to upload it to YouTube, I had to compress it... thus the lower quality. That being said... Enjoy!

Wait for it...

Okay, this is a heads up. I am currently working on the sweetest video to put on my blog right now. It is so awesome that it is taking me days to make it. Is the anticipation building? Excellent!

(I hope it meets everyone's expectations now that I have talked it up so much)
(I hope I can figure out how to get it posted on my blog)
(Note to self: ask Chelle - my geek squad)
