I'm Officially a Walker!

I've been taking steps for about 2 weeks now...2 here, 4 there...but it wasn't until the past few days that I really started moving. I got a lot of practice at Aunt Patti's this week. I found out that hardwood floors are great for practicing! I'll have to admit, I still like crawling...I can get around a lot faster that way, and I don't have to worry about falling. But I'm sure I'll get better and better at walking, and then I won't have to crawl anymore.


Check out my latest video (and it's not sideways!):

I got a new bathtub. It's a giant ducky that quacks! I have a lot of fun at bathtime now!

A Fun-Filled Day

Yesterday was a very fun day. It started out by me walking! I did it...I took 6 steps!! Then right after that, I took 4 steps! Mommy ran to get the camera, but the batteries died when she tried to get a video. She was able to get one video of me taking 2 steps, though. Sorry it's sideways...Mommy turned the camera to the side so you could see my feet, and she didn't know how to fix it! Take a look, turn your head to the side and imagine me taking 4 more steps! :)

I'm still a little shakey and haven't taken many steps since. I know I need to practice! Mommy and Daddy have been helping me...

Yesterday afternoon I went to the Fall Fest at Freddy Hill Farms with Mommy and Daddy and some friends. It was very fun! I went through a corn maze and down a big slide, got to sit on a tractor and even got to see a bunch of real pigs (they were very smelly!). I also got to check out the pumpkin patch and the "haypen".

I wouldn't touch the pumpkins...I just wanted to crawl around!

Yesterday was a great day! Mommy and Daddy said that they'll always remember the day when I walked for the first time!

How I Spent My Time Last Week...

I was pretty busy over the last week, so I figured I should take the time to catch you up on all that I was doing. No, I'm not walking yet, but it shouldn't be too much longer!

First, I stayed with my friend, Bronwyn (and her family!), for a few days while Daddy and Mommy went away, and then I went to Massachusetts for my Great-Grandma Rose's 90th birthday party. I even got to go to New Hampshire to meet a new friend...Raelyn--she's the little sister of my friend, Jonah...their mommy went to college with my Mommy and Daddy. We spent a lot of time driving in the car, but it was worth it because we got to see so many people!

I got to spend a lot of time with aunts and uncles and cousins...that's always fun! Even my new cousin, Aidan, was there. I know I'm going to have a lot of fun playing with her...the two of us are the same age! Daddy read a bedtime story to us when we were at the Dyrli's.


That's the only picture I have of our time away (don't blame me...Mommy and Daddy are in charge of the camera!). I do have some other pictures, though, of what I was up to last Monday while we were getting ready for our time away...

So, I told you I'm not walking yet, but that's because I'm having too much fun CLIMBING!

Mommy found me up on the coffee table last week. When Daddy saw me, he got a picture and then figured out how I got up there...

I put my bus on the floor by the table and used it to climb up!

After I got up on the table I had to find some other things that I could climb...

What's Been Going on at Home

I've been spending a lot of time at home this week, and it's been nice. On Sunday, I was all geared up to watch the Eagles game until I found out it was on after I go to bed!

And I heard that they lost too. Boooooo!

I've also been finding a lot of things around the house to play with. The remote controls have always been a favorite, but check out what else I found this week! Why do Mommy and Daddy buy me toys when I can just play with their stuff?!

I love how socks feel on my teeth! Oh, I should mention that my 7th tooth is coming in!

I do have a real toy that I've been playing with this week, though. It's a purse that Aunt Tracie gave to me. I like to put things in it and carry it around.

The big smile is because I stood up for the picture all by myself! I'm really getting the hang of it....Maybe my next post will be about me walking...
