More baby steps

You may recall that some weeks ago I mentioned that our little P. took her first steps. Since then she went a little stagnant, not venturing off more than one step and choosing to crawl around instead ... until this week! She is now letting go of the furniture and our fingers more quickly and letting her two little legs take her where they can. It is fun to celebrate with her as a family as she discovers a new "talent." Enjoy the video!



Unseasonably warm
Like most of the nation, it has been really warm for November. We have been trying to take advantage of the nice weather and have been going on some hikes. I think walking trails may be my favorite outdoor activity. The kids can have the freedom to run and explore without getting into too much trouble and it is quiet. I especially like that it is quiet. I suspect that I am going to be one of those crotchety old ladies who turns her hearing aid off to block everyone out. =)
