These Boots Are Made For Walking

On April 14, Lily started walking! Mike and I had just decided that when she takes 10 or more steps, we could consider her to be a walker. As if she heard us, moments later, Lily walked to the middle of the room. Well over the 10 step threshold. She originally seemed shocked by her own ability but now she just loves it.

We went to Boston Common on Thursday with Liz and Vivian. As you can see, she had fun walking around in the grass, as well as trying to eat it. She even tried to make some new friends. Lily just flashed her 7 teeth at them and they were smitten.

She so enjoys her new power and freedom that it has gone to her head. I even caught her trying to get the keys to the car from my purse. We'll have to keep an eye on her from now on.

April

April was a very big month for Lily. When she was not goofing around with Nana or riding around in her fabulous Pampers box, which corners like a dream, she was practicing her new skill. Walking!

I'm the Piano Man

Lily is crazy about this musical table. At first, she could only stand at it while clutching the Tuba in a white-knuckled death grip. Then she started cruising around it. Wheweee! She loved most to flip the page on the center of the table. It turns out that she is crazy about books! All we have to do is say "Hey" or "Sometimes I Like to Curl Up In A Ball" or "Maisy Drives the Train" and she will drop whatever she is doing to find THAT book.

She also likes to stand on the couch and heckle the neighbors out the window. Every morning she stands there and waves goodbye to Daddy as he goes off to work.
