February 2011 - Alena 10 months

Alena went from barely crawling to motoring around like a champ in no time. She also figured out how to pull herself up and cruise around furniture. She can only stand on her own for a few seconds, so I think that we may have a few more weeks or months until she is full-blown walking. Luci was pretty much walking this month, but I think that Alena will be a little behind her, which is fine by me!

Due to her new method of mobility, I have to be on constant watch - especially the bathrooms. She loves to unravel the toilet paper and getting into the toilet bowl! Sanitation alert!

Her new thing is waving. When we ask her "where's daddy?" or "where's sissy?" she turns to them and waves - it's so darn cute.

Since she is so sturdy with sitting now, she is now getting a bath with her sister. They both LOVE it! The laugh at each other the entire time. Alena gets so mad when the bath is over. If she had her way, she would be in the bath tub all day long!

Luci continues to be a champ with going potty. The only accident she had was when she missed the toilet somehow. The month of February has a sticker in every block on the calendar. I am still keeping a diaper on her at night, but I think I am going to stop that soon too because 99% of the time her diaper is dry in the morning.

We have officially registered her for preschool. We went to the open house for the one at our church and I was convinced that we were going to send her there. We still went to the open house for the other preschool (the one where I went as a child) - just to see another one, and we totally changed our minds. So that is one we are sending her to.

I am hoping for warm weather in the coming weeks so we can start to enjoy some time outside!

I'm still waiting for the potty motivation to kick in with S!
