Big things are happening in our house these days!
Grayson's ever expanding vocabulary now demonstrates his growing comprehension of the world around him. For example, at first he would say "punky" (monkey) when we said it, purely mimicking Now he can point them out in pictures (photos and drawings), by sound, and even by silly behavior. He knows when he is telling a joke and how people relate to him. Today he got in the car after school and told me, "I jump!". It was the first time he's told me what he did at school (as opposed to answering the yes or no questions I usually ask him).
Madi is crawling! I was waiting to announce this for when she starts doing the traditional hands and knees crawling, but I'm not sure that day is ever going to come, and the point is that she is mobile! She roles and scoots and has now officially mastered the forward motion! She is now capable of seeing something she wants and successfully going after it!
Meanwhile, Brooklyn just completed her first real audition for a professional theater company. It was a pretty big deal! She had to learn a song and sing with an accompanist, and had to go in to the audition alone. Plus, there is a very real chance that she will not get the part (we'll know officially in a few weeks). I'm so proud of her for working hard and facing her nerves. The director and staff were all very impressed with her, though I gathered from different comments that they will likely cast someone a little older. Then again, I've been wrong before!
So there it is. The growing, changing, constantly forward motion of the Hilton brood. It's an exciting time to be the mother of these three!

How did you not share on Sunday the "oh by the way BABY Madi is crawling"?!? I'll be in denial until I see it myself. Give Brooklyn a BIG hug from us! What an achievement already to just audition, I am so impressed!
