Walk the line...

The littlest has been making big strides today (no pun intended).  She's walked form the couch to the dog (a few steps). Took five steps from the fridge to me earlier. And, she just tried to walk across the living room to me. It was pretty good.  What's best is, she realizes she's doing something different, and it makes her very happy.  It's not just cute. It's super cute.

Baby steps...

Last night, I thought the highlight of the weekend with S was going to be that she (finally) learned to clap.  She'll do it for you, just show her you want to.  But then, this afternoon, she and big sister K were playing...together.  She's not even 11 months old.  And there she was, chasing K back and forth in the play tunnel/tube thing. Laughing, and having a great time.

Then, just before bed time, Mama was doing the same thing she's been doing for weeks: trying to help S take steps.  Sure enough, tonight was the night. She had been standing (a lot) all weekend.  So, tonight, she took her first 4 steps, and promptly fell on her bum.

Things are moving fast.

I should update this more often.  We take pictures, at least ;-)

Goin' for a walk...

Today, K, Daddy, Sydney and I all went for a walk. Sydney, being a freshy, lived up to her reputation. It might have been that she's jealous of how much time I spend with K. I don't blame her.

As we walked down the street, we met up with Pip, on his leash, wandering around the street. Daddy had seen him a little earlier, peeing on the sign in front of our house, walking with his family. After chasing Sydney around for a little while we tried to figure out what to do with him. So Daddy took Pip (and the baby) and began walking him back to his house. I trailed behind with Syd. Only a few moments later, the owner pulled up in his car and Pip ran in. Pip had escaped from the house a little earlier and would most definitely return home eventually, but he decided to pick him up anyway.

Always a bit of adventure. It was good to get out of the house for a little while. Feels like spring is coming!
