A jam and a jaunt

Girl loves her MJ ( and the promised longer walking - mom and rae!)

baby steps

This video was from a few days ago.  I have been wanting to document the wobbly first steps and these are already less wobbly than the first. And then last night she was off- outta nowhere 20 steps at a time and all over.  So here are some of the first waddles... her new advanced step work will appear later:)

Charlie's new digs

Charle finally has her own room!  Her first (almost) year of life she had a corner in our room and slept in a pack n play. Baby girl has moved up!  The room is getting there, some work still needs to be done, but she loves it and will spend long periods playing, "dressing" herself and "reading" and "cooking".  And check out the new kitchen Grandma Molly, Nana and Grandpa Charlie got her- swanky!

Let her eat cake!

ONE!

Baby girl is ONE!  After 3 parties, lots of fun with family and her first ( second and third) taste of cupcakes this week she and we are tuckered out. She is wobbling around at about 6 steps at a time and is just so stinking cute.  We will need to get on video soon.
