I Walked Today!!!

We went to daddy's softball game today and I started walking! It was 100 degrees so I was wearing shorts and didn't want to crawl on my knees. There wasn't anything to hold onto though, so I just had to walk by myself. My friend E encouraged me and I walked right over to her!

Mommy captured a video, but of course she was a little late. Right before this I took 7 whole steps.

Pictures of Me

I love looking at pictures of me and I just found a new one on mommy's phone...



The first time I saw it, I started laughing. The video above was taken after about 10 times of opening the phone and finding my picture so I wasn't quite as ecstatic.

13 Months Old

I'm 13 months old now and becoming a big girl. I'm almost walking and I eat lots of normal food - eggs, blueberries, and jicama (with peanut butter) are my favorite new foods from this month. I can almost eat with a fork or spoon, but it's still a little tricky to get the food on the utensil. I concentrate so hard, but can't quite get it.

I've learned so many things this month and developed quite a personality. I like to...

• Get off the couch by myself
• Lounge back on anything soft (like pillows, mommy's leg, my ball pit)
• Curl up with my stuffed animals and snuggle with my baby
• Stop crawling and sprawl out in the middle of the floor
• Look at pictures of myself on the wall about 10 times a day
• Climb on and off my bike all by myself
• Dance (rock back and forth) and sing (humm) to music
• Give kisses (really sloppy, wet ones)

This month was really fun because we went to a park almost every week. We also played at the mall playground (it's just my size). That was my favorite until last time when I caught a bad cold.

Fairy Princess

I got to play in the woods as a beautiful fairy princess last weekend. Mommy bought these wings for me when I was first born and she made the tutu last week.

Here I am just being cute.


And here's me directing all the forest creatures with my magic wands.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Daddy's playing in the Freightliner softball league again this year and I get to go to his games every week. It's lots of fun. There are other kids to play with my same age and I love to eat all the grass, sticks, and acorns on the ground. Here's a few pictures of the fun. How cute am I in a baseball hat?!

Sliding All By Myself

We went to Shute Park today in Hillsboro and they have a toddler play structure with a slide just my size. I got to go down it all by myself and it was so much fun.
