As Promised!

So a new development in the Erickson household is that Linnea dresses herself nearly everyday. It's always interesting to she what ensembles/combos she comes up with. Yesterday she wanted to wear her fast running shorts. Well, it's too cold to wear running shorts in November in Minnesota (especially since it's been flurrying on and off for a couple of days now) so she suggested wearing her apple leggings underneath. Creative. And then a purple flower shirt on top with her favorite yellow polka-dot sweater over that.
Today's outfit is shown below. She did manage to put everything on herself, including the tights but needed help getting the skirt on the right way.

Sonja on the other hand, believes that she doesn't need any clothes and prefers to hang out in the nude.

OK, she does get dressed sometimes, like days when we leave the house. ;-)
Of course we have many cute outfits that we wear at least something cute at least once a day.

Sonja likes to think that she can stand all by herself, which she can once you prop her up and give her something to hang on to. And then eventually she'll plop back down. She is however, getting very close to crawling. I witnessed it last night and Linnea saw her do it today, but Matthew has yet to see it. She has also started feeding herself bits of solid food. So far it's been Cheerios and sweet potato. She loves feeding herself and it quite proud when she does it. Pictures of that will be coming soon.

So, anyway, that's about all for now. Below is the picture of Matthew in the puppy costume on Halloween, as promised. Enjoy! And following that is a little video of the girls. I apologize in advance because it's at a 90 degree angle and I don't know how to flip it.
