Gravity Rules

Nicholas and Celia like watching me put the Little People Animals on the window ledge. Then I ask them to find certain animals that they know (bear, alligator, fish, zebra, tiger..). And the best fun is taking the animals and watching them crash to the floor.
Toddlers certainly find joy in gravity. Whether it is throwing food off their tray, throwing toys on the floor, tossing Nuks and pink kitty or green froggy out of their cribs, or bath toys out of the tub. A world without gravity certainly would be much more boring for these two.

Celia also loves to rip her bib off and toss it on the floor. After trying over and over to have her keep it on, I've gotten smarter. Now I layer her up in bibs, so as she peels one off, there is another underneath. She doesn't seem to realize it yet that there is another to take off right away. ha ha - I've outsmarted a 13 month old - a crowning achievement!!!

And I REALLY don't have them watch Baby Einstein that much, but this was them watching it again yesterday. They actually laid there for 15 min while I put folded clothes away and cleaned up the kitchen.

  1. We have the same thing going on here Jill! They love to drop any and everything from their crib, their highchair, over the baby gate, you name it! How funny that you outsmarted Celia with the bibs, I'll have to remember that when one of mine starts to do that :). That is a crowning achievement!

    They look so comfy watching Baby Einstein, some days I wish I could just do lay on the floor and do that - ha ha!

  2. How cute. I love the new picture at the top of the blog of them kissing! So sweet. Hold on to that one! You'll need it for proof some day about 14 years from now :-)

    I am very impressed that they are learning their animals -- even if they do throw them on the floor - lol.

    Hope all are doing well. We're in for another 6-9 inches of white stuff today. Ugh.. I had to dig our mailbox out this weekend also.

  5. Yeah, and the throwing of the sippy's is aggravating! But as for the bibs with Celia, have you tried this one from Kiddopotamus? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CC1F8M/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

    It has a different kind of closure in the back that makes it impossible for L&D to take off. Plus all of the gook just drops into the pouch below. Easy to clean, too.
