Spring is in the air

I'm smiling because I love going outside to play. With the nice weather (slowly) setting in, I'm able to go outside to play just about everyday after school. If we don't go into the backyard, Baba and I have been walking around the block. Yes, I've actually been walking all around the block by myself (I mean, I have to hold Baba's hand, but I'm walking the entire way around). We stop at the gutters on the street to see if there is water running through them. It make the walk much more interesting. Last weekend, Yiayia and I went for a walk all around the block. Here's hoping that warmer weather sticks around at least until October!

It's Official: I'm One!

Today's the day. At 11:05am a year ago, I arrived! As Baba likes to remind me, that's exactly when the world became a much better place. Happy to help, Ba! I can also tell you, for the record, that I can legitimately walk. Not sort of walk, but really (really!) walk.

So, here's to my first year full of discovery and the next year full of adventure.

Love you all who have kept up with me on my blog. Keep on reading, the best is yet to come.

Walking? Sort of...not yet...

It's a learning process - with ups and downs - literally. Mommy keeps saying that by the time I turn one I should be walking. Folks were waiting a good three months for me to roll over back in the day, so I'm not making any promises, but seeing is believing (check out the video below - "baby steps" for sure).

Moving right along...

It's my ten month birthday today - happy birthday to me! So, as I reflect on where I've been (my mom's tummy) to where I've gone (my parent's family room) to where I'm going ("walking" is the next frontier), time really does seem to be flying by! I remember only being able to lie on the floor. I recall rolling over for the first time (if even only by accident). I can't even imagine a time when I couldn't crawl!? I mean, getting around is all the rage. So now, I'm beginning to sort-of-walk. "Sort-of" in that I am using my highchair, but walking is walking, and I think I'll soon get used to the idea of taking full strides standing up. NOTE: by "soon," I mean in the next three to six months. Here's a quick video as proof that I'm "moving right along"...
