Help me, I'm stuck mommy!

Natalie officially schooches! She gets up on her knees and pushes back with her arms so that she moves backwards. These pictures were taken today when I found she was moving off her blanket during bellytime and ended up across the room halfway under my armoir! She wanted to keep going, but she was stuck and was letting me know all about it. You can see here that she abandoned the blanket! She does not seem to think she needs it anymore! I could not believe how far she made it.
She is very proud of herself! She is just dying to keep up with Will. Tonight I was alone in putting them both to bed, so I had her in Will's bed with Will when I was reading him stories. She kept reaching up to play with his hair! Then she was grabbing his shoulder. Will was being a little bit of a touch-me-not at the time, but finally he ended up holding her hand. Will said, "hold hands, Nata-ee?" Natalie was so obviously trying to show him affection. I felt I had a glimpse into the future for a moment of what it is going to be like when they can both really express themselves to each other, and snuggle or whatever. She adores her brother already!

Here's a shot of Will chowing down post-swimming at the pool today. He had a great time playing with Haydn and Spence today. Spence has been out of town and we've been missing him, so it was fun for Will to see him again.
