look where I climbed all by myself!

I Know this video is dark. I had to take it. I was amazed at my daughter mimicking me. Here she's mooing for the cow.

Beans!

She really enjoys mommy's beans with avocado! Click on the picture if you want to zoom in to see her forehead's beany crown.

Changing and growing

Abrianna had succumbed to the land of nod. This gave me an opportunity to jog on the mini tramp. (This is a much preferred exercise for me right now. The icy temperatures result in inconsolable crying of my child/children on every attempted walk in the past two weeks. )
I heard little noises emanating from the bedroom about the time that Cliff Huxtable was returning home after the surprise birthday party that Clair had managed to pull off.
I glanced towards the hall, there was a small face peeking out at me, smile in place - usually when she wakes she cries until she's picked up.
As I made my way to her, she stood to meet me. Just stood up in the middle of the hall way. She appeared to be considering meeting me with a few faltering steps. Not today. We'll save that for another day.
My baby is going to be off and running soon!

Standing

I just thought you all may like to know that Abrianna began standing on her own Friday night. She'll either pull herself to standing and then let go or stand up from the floor without hanging on to anything. Pictures not the best but I did catch her on camera. Way to go Abrianna!

Eating snow

We took Abrianna and Lucas out into the snow to play. She surprised me by taking off crawling through the snow like a snow-cat. Then she paused to bury her face the frozen whiteness! In this first picture she was dipping into the snow with her mittened hands and licking it off. YUMMY! I'll bet it feels really good on a sore little mouth.

Here she is lowering her little face down to lick the snow up.

Connection! Score! She didn't fuss. She loved it. No problem with getting cold or anything.
What are tough little girl!
