Looks who's walking

Finally. Right when Mark and I decided to intervene and obtain physical therapy for the twins to get them upright, Luke takes his first independent steps. He began toddling on Saturday when Mark broke out the box of Lucky Charms. Turns out they are magically delicious. Their magical powers are strong enough to sway the shaky legs of a toddler toward their sweet, oat-y goodness. Luke, motivated by all things sweet, toddled to his reward all afternoon, and then later, decided that walking was actually fun and proceeded to stroll (sometimes holding our hands lightly) everywhere he went! We may go ahead with therapy for Lucy. She wanted the Lucky Charms just as badly as Luke but was certainly not willing to work for them. I think it will just take a few days for her to realize that Luke is getting places faster with less knee pain for her to go upright as well... with any luck.

We had such an enjoyable Easter. Tara and her crew came over for homemade pizza, egg dying, egg hunts and hours of afternoon play. Yup. It rocked.  Luke and Lucy didn't really get the concept of the egg hunt this year, but they did enjoy the chocolate!  Jack raced around like a rabbit (how fitting...) We got creative this year and actually hid the eggs - or made them work for it!
