America's Most Talented

In a matter of days, Erin has:

• Managed to sign her version of 'more'; though it may look like clapping, occasionally one of her fingers bends down further than the others to replicate the 'point to the palm' we've been demonstrating since February
• Mastered crawling
• Started pulling herself up to a standing position (in a crib, at the side of the tub, at the zoo)
• Climbed up three stairs
• Learned how to "high-five"
• Popped out two teeth
• Conjugated a verb (I mama, you mama, he/she/it mamas)
• Eaten two plates of lasagna at one sitting

Not to be outdone, Ryan, if he concentrates, and stares dead ahead, and juts out his jaw, and pops a temple vein,

• Can wiggle his ears once

You just can't teach that.
I am enormously and equally proud of them both equally the same no more one than the other I swear.
