Standing Up, Falling Down

AT this point in their lives, the New Family Twins are actively working at standing and staying standing up. Liesel can pull herself upright and regularly does so. EJ cannot yet (will not?), but if put in an upright position, he can maintain it for a while.

Donning her investigative cap and thought focusing binky, "She-lock" prepares for another adventure.

Buggy has not learned how to protect her head during a fall so she gets to wear the Thudgard helmet when she is outside of the padded play space. Buddy instinctively tucks his head when he falls and so does not need one. He is, however, very sensitive and will cry out in surprise on the rare occasion he falls. Buggy rarely cries when she falls. She is eerily silent when her head goes thud.

While in the play space, her head is protected by thick yoga mats, though they do not cover the entire area and she does seem to find the protective voids.

The padding extends to Buggy's crib where she could bang her head against the top rails.
