...about time for an update or two!
I had not uploaded photos in a long time + my computer was in the repair shop until today = the need to catch up with my blog!
First things first: Look what X is doing!
She took her first steps (8 of them in a row--way to start out gradually chica!) about a week and a half ago in the play area of Chick-Fil-A. She was watching all the big kids running and screaming, and she wanted in on the action I suppose. She walked back and forth between papa and I at home that weekend, but then stopped for most of the week and wouldn't show off her skills for anyone. But this past weekend we went to Mexico to see Ric's family, and she had cousins to try to keep up with so she picked it right back up.
These pictures were taken last Sunday at church, so she's gotten a little steadier on her feet since. I suspect she will be running in about 2 days :)
She also got her first "real" hair cut, although it was just bangs. That was about all I was brave enough to do. Her hair grows forward from about the middle of the back of her head on (think Linus). She has recently decided that pulling out her ponytails and clips is a lot of fun, so she would go most of the day with all her hair in her eyes (and nose and mouth, because it came down to her chin). So I cut bangs. Not sure if they're even, but I think she looks pretty cute, and it does help to not have to keep pulling her hair back or re-clipping it.
A cookie in one hand, a brush in the other (and in the mouth) kept her pretty content for the whole ordeal.
So grown up!
Another favorite is pulling books out of the shelves, which we can distract her from by giving her rides in papa's office chair. She loves both activities though, so usually the books still come out of the shelves.
She's finally cut her front top two teeth and has four more coming in (it's about time!) She's started getting freckles (younger than I did), and had her first strawberries and bananas (things we waited on because Ricardo's allergic--she doesn't show any signs). Still a happy baby who doesn't sleep through the night yet!
Next post: Mexico!
