Cruising and Cars

I realized that I haven’t given any kind of update on how the kids are doing since their birthday (almost 3 months ago).

Sienna now has 4 teeth (yes, only 4 at 15 months!).  She still manages to chew all kinds of meat, etc.  I’m sooo thankful to be past the steaming, pureeing, and grinding stage with food!

She has learned to crawl down the 3 stairs between the living room and dining room, so that is nice and helpful.  We’re still working on training her not to go up the “big” stairs.  It was easier to train Ethan since he was the only child.  I tend to think that I can run upstairs to change Ethan’s diaper or do something with/for him real quick and leave her playing downstairs, but before I know it, she has crawled up all of the big stairs.She is cruising around, but tends to prefer to use little chairs to push and walk rather than hold onto a couch and walk along it.  We don’t have any push toys, but she does just fine with the little chairs we have.  I assume she will begin walking on her own before too long.  She has started everything later than Ethan did, and he was walking by this age.Enjoying the rays.

At the beginning of April Ethan started getting into the makes of cars.  Everywhere we went he asked what kind of car it was.  By the middle of April he learned the emblems for  Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, Skoda, Ford, Toyota, Opel, Peugeot, Audi, Renault, and Suzuki.  Now, he recognizes most of the cars by their emblem.  Since we have a Toyota, if he sees a Toyota he asks what kind of Toyota it is.  He has commented about how there are a lot of Opels and Skodas in Hungary.  He’s also pointed out certain cars (mostly American brands) that there are not a lot of in Hungary.  Gary and I have definitely brushed up on our knowledge of car emblems and makes.Shelf milk is less expensive and more common over here, so we typically buy a case at a time.  Gary had just bought a case of orange juice that was on sale, so Ethan made a “tower” out of it along with some milk and other juices that we already had.
