This Week She's Walking....

...and next week she will be asking for the keys to the car. She just started walking short distances the over last couple weeks. She can get a couple steps in before she falls, which she doesn't seem to mind. It's like a happy little drunken gnome keeps stumbling around the house.



She has also found a burst of energy that we can't explain. She chatters away all day while going from one place to the next. We both knew this was coming, but were surprised that it happened so quickly.

Wild Animal On the Loose

Somehow a lion found it's way into our living room. Even though she seems quite ferocious, we were able to lure her away with cookies and a bottle.

Cousin Playtime

Last night my Mom invited the family over for dinner. Violet & Lucy got to spend a little quality cousin time playing together. It has been fun watching them interact, but a little scary thinking about how much trouble they are going to get into in the future.
Somebody loves ice cream:


Here comes trouble:


We've also found out that we can get Violet to dance by singing and clapping, even though it takes a little encouragement. Here is a video of V&L dancing to us clapping. My favorite part is how excited L is the ENTIRE clip.
