The Cavelets can:

• Sleep through the night – they start getting up close to 6am now
• Play hard indoors and outdoors
• Collectively destroy stuff (mostly Michaela and Christopher leading this effort), especially books
• Wake each other up at night with ease and purpose
• Run now

• Loves to attempt to dress herself and has a unique sense of fashion.
• Has taken up stealing her siblings’ bottles when they still have 1 oz to go, apparently just because

• Has the most teeth so far. Lots of molars, too
• Has an evil laugh after she’s has mastered a new skill

• Wags her finger at us when lecturing us in frustration
• Loves green peas (what’s up with that?)
• Tends to be a picky eater at times
• Still loves pizza sauce
• Still times her naps to where she stays up after the other two pass out so she can have all the toys (and attention) to herself

• Loves to toss objects over the baby gate
