Two heads are better than one

Spike's new mobility is proving a little puzzling for poor Curly, who was used to being able to play contentedly by herself while her brother was stuck across the room. Nowadays, Caleb wants in on the action.

He's fairly proficient at reaching a specific destination with a series of barrel rolls, and has even, in the past day or so, begun scooting. (So far he can only scoot backward, not forward. He tends to get a little frustrated when the toys in front of him only get farther away the more he strains to get them.)

Yesterday, Abby's noise-making animal puzzle caught Caleb's attention from a few feet away, so off he rolled to go see what all the fuss was about. Abby was none too pleased that her brother seemed to have commandeered her toy, until she realized she could help him. Setting all sibling rivalries aside for a moment, my two little cuties played quite well together, Caleb flailing at puzzle pieces until he grabbed one, and Abby taking the pieces he "handed" to her and showing him where they fit. I love moments like these!
