Its been awhile. We've been soaking up the beautiful fall weather, maybe soaking it up too much, because mama is SICK. I think someone might be telling me to slow down. Thats OK, it gives me time to find silly videos on youtube and update this blog =).
So, i thought our recent trip to vermont might be just the way to catch up. What does a chick like Naia do in Vermont, you may wonder...?
WELL...
she chases chickens
fits in some good old edumacation
meets new friends... here's one almost the same age =)
she practices walking (more on this in a minute)
learns that getting cozy helps in the cold
she rides her first tractor (with a little help from another new friend)
gets so excited to play that she loses her pants
and she finds a few SECONDS to relax =)
So we had a great time and an adventurous trip home, where naia slept through her first snow, woke up for her first flat tire, and had a huge suprise for us when we got home: her first steps!! she did 3 steps, twice. we celebrated and went to bed. Since then, she's increased the number of steps everyday and last night we stopped counting the steps. she went from play room through the bedroom and into the hallway!!! I guess its another case of "father knows best". In the car on friday, Brooks said naia was going to walk this weekend. She snuck it in in the nick of time.
While i'm not signing her up for any walk-a-thons just yet, she is. literally, on her way. And the proud smile that goes with the shuffling strut is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen. We have proud smiles too.
