She's Learning to Stand!

I need to apologize for being so behind on my posts!  I hope to catch up this week, but I'm not promising anything.  There is a ton to share, so hopefully I will get to it soon.

Here is a quick post to share our excitement that Sweet Pea is starting to learn to stand on her own!  She has been standing with support for a long time now, but this past weekend when we were up at my parents cabin in our local mountains she decided that it was time to try to stand on her own. 

Below are a couple videos of her attempting.  You can tell that this is a skill that she has a lot more work to do in order to achieve, but she is very motivated and is loving the feeling of it as you can tell from her huge smile!  I'm thinking she may accomplish this faster than I think.  Just look at the change in the first two days of her working on it!

First day (Friday, Nov. 26):


Second Day (Saturday, Nov. 27):


Way to go Sweet Pea!  We are cheering for you to be standing by yourself some day soon!  We love you!!!!!

Bubbles With Mommy

I've got a few videos that I think hope you will enjoy.  Since Sweet Pea's Grandmother will be arriving on Wednesday night and I've got 4 videos I'll roll one out a day to tide her over until she can see her little granddaughter in person.

Video 1: Do you think she likes bubbles?

Wordless Wednesday: Cruisin'

Not the best pictures to capture it, but she is officially cruising...and on everything!  She will even switch between heights of furniture and directions.  Way to go Sweet Pea!





What is the big deal?

Fun at the Park

You can call me a slacker all you want!  I've been taking a breather from the blog for a few days, but I do have a number of things to share so hopefully there will be a few posts this week as time permits.  Here is the first post for those of you craving a video fix of Sweet Pea...

Daddy and I took Sweet Pea to the park on Sunday and this time I captured video of her climbing and supported walking.  She is cruising all around these days and just loving her new mobility.  I can only imagine her excitement when she doesn't need our help and can really get into trouble all on her own!

The first video is of her doing the easier set of steps and then going down the slide and walking back to the steps.  She crawls over to the slide now and always seems to be leaning very far forward before her feet are facing forward so I'm afraid she is going to go head first one of these days.  I really love that Daddy was able to go with us because it makes it a lot more fun for all of us!



The second video is of her attempting to climb the very steep steps that are more like climbing a ladder.  We wanted to video this so that we had something to compare to in a few months when she gets much better at this more challenging set of stairs:
