Ready, set, GO!

As I write this, it's just five days until our little girl turns one. Can you believe it?!? So since I know that I probably won't make it back to the computer to post an update until after her party on Saturday (and then there's Easter...), I thought you might like to see how things are moving and shaking around here.

 
Video #1: Sliding is fun!
Since Emma tries to climb on everything, we got her a climber for her first birthday. I knew it was a little above her age limit and a toy we'd have to supervise play time with until she grew into it a bit more, but boy, has she figured this thing out like a champ. We took this video on March 29th, and now she barely needs our help. Check it out!





Video #2: The Walker
So in last month's update, I told you she was taking just 2-3 steps and then falling down to crawl. Not so much anymore. I took this video yesterday, and even today as I watch her play, it's been mostly her just figuring out how to walk to different places around the room, how to stand up and go to walking, and how to walk while carrying something. It's not the most graceful thing and she hasn't really gotten the whole turning thing down yet, but as you can see, she's ready to GO! I guess we really do have a toddler now!
