Walking!

Silas is a cautious kid, and he's been content with knee walking for quite sometime now.


He's also really tall so he has a long way to fall...


Silas didn't crawl until he was 9-1/2 months, and he waited to start pulling himself up to a stand until one day before his first birthday. We figured he would take his time with walking too. I am so happy to report that Silas took his first unassisted steps two weeks ago! It was perfect timing, in that he decided to do it during his weekly physical therapy appointment on December 8th. We have been getting early intervention services for almost a year now, and Rochelle is the awesome PT who has been working with Silas on the tightness in his lower extremities and on his gross motor skills. Here is the video Derek shot of him in PT today.



He didn't consistently start standing up and walking with a push toy until AFTER he took his first steps. He is definitely doing this on his own schedule :)




And as most of you know, Zoe started walking at the beginning of November. I realized today that I posted this video on Facebook, but it never made it onto the blog...



After a month of exhibiting caution, she now toodles around the house quite comfortably, as if she's been doing it her entire life.

I definitely see kid leashes in our not-so-distant future :)

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!  

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
