Asiya finds her voice

Asiya started crawling this week, throwing us for a loop. Suddenly we realized how unprepared we were for her new mobility. Gone are the days of planting Asiya in a spot with a toy and getting a solid 5 minute breather. This girl can move! Asiya is also (vocally) making it clear to us what she doesn't appreciate. Chief complaints: taking something from her that she found interesting, and wiping her face when it is covered with food, drool, etc. Asiya does more than complain though - when I come in the room her eyes light up and she says "DA DA DA!"

Giant plans

Gabe has decided his career/life goals. We ask him sometimes what he wants to be when he grow up, trying to get a sense of what he is thinking. Gabe now says that when he grows up he wants to be an “all aboard”, also known as a train conductor. Just when we start to imagine him working on a train, he said that when he gets even bigger he wants to be a policeman, and when he gets really big he wants to be a giant. I guess I had better start saving up for giant schooling. Is that a four year program?
