So? Big deal, don't all kids learn to run at this age? Well it's not really the fact that she has learned to run that's significant, it's WHY she has learned to run. For survival. She runs from Grace.
Sabrina and Grace have developed a real love/hate relationship lately. Sabrina is quite the toy stealer and Grace doesn't seem to feel that our family rule #3 (share!) applies to her. So Sabrina has learned that when she takes something from Grace she has to run as FAST as she can to Mommy and Daddy. Yesterday she was squealing so loud while running away that I thought for a moment that a little piggy was about to be slaughtered in our living room. Both of them always want what the other one has and neither of them want to be left out of anything. Which leads to quite a bit of fighting.
But sometimes they have so much fun together. They love playing dress-up together, they don't really fight over the dress-up clothes. Grace can get Sabrina giggling better than anyone else. Sometimes they chase each other around for fun, no toys involved, and it is pretty cute. It sure will be interesting to watch their relationship develop as they grow up.
I've been trying to get a good video of a fun chase scene, but it has been hard. So here's one of them being silly at the end of dinner tonight. They were at a safe distance from each other so it was all fun. After about 30 seconds it's mostly just Grace yelling really loud so you may want to spare your ears and just turn it off. I obviously need to get some good video editing software.

Steve and I loved the video. Reminds us of Easton and Zach. Easton loves to make Zach laugh. I can't wait until they're running after eachother. Zach is now 11 months old, but not yet walking. Looks like we'll just have to wait.
