April was full of firsts. Brooklyn has been walking around the couch, pushing things like her baby stroller, and even walking in her walker a lot lately.
We kept trying to get her to walk on her own but she would just sit down anytime we let go of her hands. This went on for a while until the other day she just took off!
Emily was holding her hands when I sat down on the floor by her and said, "Come walk to me!" Brooklyn turned around and took two steps before falling. We were all in shock that she actually took a step! The rest of the night we practiced and practiced until she was taking multiple steps. She was having a lot of fun and would laugh out loud each time she walked to me. One time I had her walk to Emily and she fell before Emily could catch her. That was a bad thing because after that she would not walk to Emily at all. Emily felt so bad that Brooklyn didn't trust her anymore. I told her not to worry about it and Brooklyn would forget in a minute. Well finally about an hour later, Brooklyn would walk to Emily again.
We were so excited for Brooklyn and she was so happy to be walking too. She is still pretty wobbly but she is getting it!
Another first is that Brooklyn finally got her first and second tooth to pop through. These teeth have been kind of sitting there for a while. We could hear them with a spoon but we couldn't see them until now. I can't believe she is a year old and only now getting her first teeth.
Well Brooklyn got her first teeth and Charlotte lost her first teeth! I told Charlotte that maybe Brooklyn found her lost teeth and put them in her mouth. Charlotte didn't really believe me at all.
Charlotte's teeth have been getting more and more wiggly over the last little bit. Charlotte kept saying that she didn't want to pull out her tooth until after Easter. Finally, after Easter, the first one was so wiggly it was hanging by a thread so we told her it was time. She was excited but scared. Russell barely pulled it and it came right out. Even though it was a relatively easy pull, it was traumatizing to Charlotte. She was so sad she was crying. But the tooth was out. Her first tooth was gone.
The second tooth came out a few days later. This pull was similar to the last and there were tears but not nearly as many as the first. I guess she knew what to expect and it wasn't as traumatizing. Charlotte was really excited for the Tooth Fairy to come and give her some money for her teeth. Charlotte received $1 for each tooth! Now she is toothless and loves it. She was so proud she told her Primary class and Preschool class all about losing her teeth and showed everyone how her tongue can fit through her teeth holes. She is a nut.
