They can Stack!

This weekend Nicholas, Celia and I stopped at my parents house. They have a pegboard with stacking cylinders. Nicholas and Celia haven't been very interested in it before, but that day Celia crawled over and picked up two of the cylinders and held them up to me. I showed her how they go together and then she was off. She was stacking those cylinders like she had been stacking them for weeks. Then on the other side of the living room Nicholas crawled by some wooden blocks and nonchalantly stacked 4 blocks!
We borrowed the Pegboard and Nicholas and Celia both are stacking with it. I tried to get pictures of Celia stacking, but so far I have only caught Nicholas.
Here he is with his tower from today. He did it all by himself. :)

And tonight they should sleep very well! After their afternoon nap they had a snack (turkey deli meat, cheese cubes and crackers with milk). Then they got their coats on (well, I put them on them, ha ha) and they walked around in the backyard, then we went on a walk. We stopped at the park in our neighborhood and they went on the baby swing together (they still fit in the same swing together :) ). Then we stopped and visited with Grandpa M. (Grandma & Grandpa live across the street) while they walked outside some more. We were outside for an hour and a half!!! It was so nice - sunny and at least 40 degrees. We will get snow tomorrow - BOOOO!
After some homemade pizza, some playing and bedtime bottles, they were in bed by 7:15pm. Nicholas has been waking up several times a night with teething pain so I hope he sleeps tonight (gave him Motrin too), because I need some sleep too! :)

  1. Wow Jill! That is great that they are stacking like that! We have worked on it and just haven't gotten it yet! I love that pegboard..do you know what brand it is?
    I'm glad you got outside today! Isn't that nice? How funny though that 40 is warm!!!! :)

  2. Great job Nicholas! It's amazing how last week they just crawled by it as if it didn't even exist. The peg board is from Discovery Toys and now they have different shapes that you can choose to go with it. The opposite side is a geoboard for when they are older. I bought mine over 18 years ago and it still looks like new! I think it sells for $17.

  3. That is so cute! Maybe Nicholas will be an architect? :). What a neat, educational toy. It makes me want to set out some blocks to see if they stack them (I don't think they will). I hope they slept well for you last night, it sounds like they had a very busy day! We had to resort to Motrin last night for both K&B because of teething pain.
