Aurora is walking!...among other things...

Last week Aurora started walking! Here's the short story ;) She had been furniture bouncing for a couple weeks, something happened when Josh went to Rochester for a week. It was like she needed to show Daddy how big she was when he got home. All week she was following after Kira and practicing her walking. By the end of the week when Daddy came home, she was steadily walking everywhere! Now she gets frustrated if she falls and isn't near anything to help her stand up. It's really cute. At ten months old Rora is walking! That makes her only a month later than Kira to start walking, I was sure she would be older.
Unfortunately with her new independence she has also started throwing temper tantrums. These are full blown, throw yourself on the ground, back arched tantrums. She is way to young to be throwing tantrums! I have no idea how to stop them and I have just been letting them run their course. That means that for five minutes she screams and throws herself around on the floor waiting for my attention. Finally when the fiveish minutes are up she gets her binki and lays there looking pathetic until I pick her up and give her a love. Its pathetic and in some situations, it can be scary. At our trunk or treat last week I sat her down on the side walk so I could clean up our trunk. She screamed and threw herself backwards smacking her head into the sidewalk. I reached down and scooped her up and she was so mad at me that she arched herself back trying to get away from me since I was the reason she was set down in the first place. Really!?! She is 10 months old, acting like she has hit the terrible two's! It's insane! I really hope she gets over this pretty quickly and truth be told, she has already gotten better...of course, I want perfect children and this really hampers the perfect aspect ;)
Along with the bitter comes the sweet. She is forming more sounds and has started clapping. Kira worships the ground that she walks on and will share anything and everything with her. They share suckers, cookies, juice boxes, etc. Kira will even share her breakfast/lunch/dinner with Rora! They are such great sisters and Kira really looks out for Aurora. I love to see my girls playing together. There is nothing that makes my heart happier. I love my girls!
