Boys vs girls

Since Rose E has been into bracelets lately I got her this package of them. She's been wearing them around the house and Walter has found a more creative boy approach...to use them as a ring toss.
Walter was ecstatic that playgroup started-up again today. He seemed to enjoy it. He really played nicely with the other kids and everybody was amazed at how much Rose E had changed in four months, some people even said they didn't recognize her at first. It was interesting to watch how Walter gravitated for the boy toys (trucks and building things) and Rose E gravitated for the dolls and toy food. It is amazing to me how different they have been since birth. Though different, Rose E still loves to imitate that brother of hers as much as possible. I had to laugh because the other day when we where walking out of the library( after story hour) into the parking lot Walter realized that his voice echoed. So then he started to say "echo" and then Rose E chimed in repeating "echo." She has been doing a lot of those types of things lately. Even including watching what Walter eats and sometimes if he won't eat it neither will she. Speaking of eating, today at lunch I had to laugh because Jeff picked-up the core to the pear and was eating the edible parts. Anyway this freaked Walter out as for he kept saying "no Daddy you can't eat that part, I don't want you to get sick again." Rose E on the other hand kept signing to me that she was eating flowers and it was cauliflower. Never a dull moment in this house!
I also added these pictures of this goofy girl as for she has been into wearing my shoes lately and they look so big on her. Oh and while I am on the topic of walking she is now taking steps down steps with my assistance (before she would just take the plunge). She is just getting too big too fast!
Last but not least she has been riding this horse a lot lately she is able to get on and off of it by herself. Little miss independent!
