About Time!

The long awaited video (a week is long these days... I've got some impatient family... coughAMYcough) is here! Along with other pictures and short movies for your viewing pleasure. Isabella started walking last weekend! As always, she has waited until she is confident to grace us with her talents. Two days after she REALLY walked for the first time (more than two wobbly steps that were more like stumbles) she walked a good 15-20 feet and around at least one corner to find me in the kitchen. She's had some good falls, but she's loving her new freedom.



Waiting for bath time. She CAN'T WAIT to get in there!


Relaxing with Daddy at a friend's 1st Birthday party.


Starting her tornado of destruction with the dishtowel drawer.


"Which one should I throw next?"


Chomping on her teething soother.



I caught Bella reading one of her many books.




A quick video we took of Bella walking. She can go a lot further than this, but you get the point.

More Steps

Ok, the video is still in the works. Isabella is seriously distracted by any kind of camera pointed her way, or else we try and get it right before she goes to bed when she is in NO MOOD to perform.

But she's getting good!

Today I left her standing at our couch and went to get her breakfast. All of a sudden I hear what I think is the sound of her hands slapping the floor as she crawls over. I turn to look, and she is already HALF WAY ACROSS THE KITCHEN. From our couch!! Those of you who know our place realize what I'm saying here... she walked 15-20 feet by herself, AND turned at least one corner to come into the kitchen (may have been more if she walked around the chair too). WHAT??!! She would have gone further, but I panicked (since she was now walking on tile, and I wasn't close enough to catch her if she face planted), and ran to pick her up. She practically runs when she "walks". Maybe she got that from her Uncle Peter?

Next thing I know I'll walk in to find her reading books out loud to herself...

Video to come SOON. I promise.

And we're off!

Guess who started walking over the weekend! Walking while she's nine months! We were expecting it to take longer... She's not running around the whole place yet, so we still have time to walk-proof. We'll post a video soon!
