Progress

Just after her birthday:
















(still holding on when walking)










A couple weeks later:


















Now:




Back and forth.



Down and up.















And reading breaks.







And mischief.

Some days are very good

With a little encouragement, she walked several steps on Saturday. She still thinks its a fun game in her room and holds on to the wall and furniture the rest of the time. We're certain she'll be confident soon though.

Packages

I am experimenting with the new iPhoto and faster ways to post them on here. Here is one try for something different (package received last month).

Birthday party

Birthday morning 

Her cake. She ate beet cake, or at least she was given beet cake. She was smart enough to only eat the frosting.

FAIL at the beet cake. Not good enough for guests, but good enough for baby. Or so I thought.

All smiles outside.

Finally! 

Lovely people!

At this point she is getting tired. Terrible naps lately.

I put the cake back on the plate and broke some pieces off. 

Ugly cupcakes but I am happy to say everything from scratch and at least it tasted good.

She ate a bit of the pieces and then just threw the whole thing on the grass. She did have yellow cake too at some point, but I didn't get a picture.

Hammer and ball set from Mike. She loves it. She played with it today almost exclusively.

What a pretty card!

She also LOVES the phone. Right now its in the closet. I think its going to go on the plane with us. I want to keep it new for the flight.

It was a big day! She was so excited with the toys (some others not pictured yet) and people she struggled to settle down at the end of the day. Then she fell right asleep in the middle of bedtime routine.

Easter dress photos

Lots to post but right now I'll just share this link to a photo album. Enjoy!

Yippee! She drinks!

She drank from a straw tonight. This is huge, folks!!!

Mischief in the last month

Helping Abba.

She starting pointing a month ago and loves to point at our pictures on the fridge. She actually points to Grandma Shirley and says "Nana". 

Mmm. Sand.

Can you see the bruise on the forehead? Poor babe. It was a fall on the hard floor.

We went for a walk on a windy day.

Dressed up for church.

Video of the day with cats and then one with the mirror. Sometimes she gets so excited about the mirror!
