Snip

More Audrey news!  Her hair was several different lengths across the back and getting a bit straggly so I trimmed it up this morning - her summer 'do.  Her 1st haircut!

Before

After and stylin' (for you, Aunt Sami!)

And as of now, yesterday's walking post is outdated. She's now regularly letting go of furniture and taking off.  She's literally getting more confident by the day.  Tomorrow we expect she'll be running hurdles!

Walking!

Turns out our sneaky little one has been holding out on us!  After dinner on Friday night Chris and I sat down and stood her between us. She barely hesitated before taking off toddling.  We backed up, she kept going.  We kept backing up, she kept going.  She literally went from having taken no independent steps to taking over a dozen in a row and crossing an entire room.  The little trickster!

She still won't stand on her own from a sitting position or let go of furniture and take off but we figure she probably knows how to do those things too.  This one could be trouble!

Pitter Patter

The "splat splat" of crawling hands along our floors is slowly becoming less common as we start to add the "pitter patters" of little feet. Natalie takes a few steps from one person to another if you stand her up first and cheer her on. We had a big crowd at the cabin this weekend so there was lots of encouragement and she was busy practicing her walking skills.

Godzirra!

Run for your lives! Protect your cottage cheese and cell phones! See below for the beginning of the end for Chris & Erin's lazy afternoons...
