Old Blogs

I know you are not supposed to compare your children or any children for that matter.  You still do of course no matter how hard you try not too.  I have been reading my old blogs from when Annabelle was an infant to see when she started to do things like talk, sign, stand on her own, etc.  Annabelle was about 10 months before she signed, Caroline has done it at 8.  Just once but still I was impressed (ha).  I thought Annabelle was talking by 8 months but looks like I was wrong.  She was closer to 10 so that gives Caroline another couple months to start speaking.  She babbles a lot of mostly she just laughs and screams (good screams not bad ones).  It is so weird to remember Annabelle didn't come out of the womb talking like I remember.  She has been talking forever and not just baby talk, big words and phrases and sentences.  Jason always told me we would not talk "baby talk" to our children and we haven't.  Annabelle was so stubborn she was 3 days past 1 year old before she walked.  I know she could have done it sooner.  Caroline is on her way to walking in the next couple of months but we will see.  She could start walking or she could not start until she is over a year old too.  No matter what they do you still love your children with all your heart because they are perfect.
