They Grow Up Fast

Today I was packing up some of the kids "baby" toys...the teethers, link-a-doos, etc that they don't play with much anymore to make room for all their other bigger things. I have to say I was a little sad packing those things up...they're no longer babies now. They are entering the toddler world. It doesn't seem that long ago that they were little and really didn't know how to play with any toys.
Abby gave me another proud but sad moment today. This afternoon after their nap, I was changing Jake and Abby was still in her crib. She really wanted out and when I turned to look at her, she extended both arms and said "mama". Now I am calling that her first official word. She babbles all the time, but hardly says mama. She's a dada and baba girl. Today I think she intentionally said "mama" as she was looking at me and extended her arms in hopes I would come get her out of the crib.
Jake also throw another one at me by finally figuring out how to open all the cabinets in the kitchen. We installed locks a few months ago in preparation for this but hadn't flipped the locks on. So today I had to go and lock all the cabinets. Of course he starts with the cabinet that has the trash then moves to the one with all the cleaning supplies. This afternoon I kept forgetting they were locked and kept trying to open them all without my opener.
