Crawling is so three weeks ago

Here are a few additional photos of Olivia from this weekend. She’s completely given up on crawling–it’s walking only for this baby, er…toddler.

Kids at play

We made good use of the warm weather this weekend. Good thing–it was fleeting.

Two step

Ava has Olivia in training, leading her all over the house to practice walking. Her hard work is playing off–last night Olivia walked from the couch to the staircase…and all the way up the stairs. She’s taking this mobility business pretty seriously.

Second babies are so much easier

More Halloween Fun

Trick or treating downtown:

And, back at the ranch, the kids open Halloween surprises from Gramma and Grampa Great.

“My very own cell phone?! Wow!”

Happy Halloween!

We started celebrating last weekend, when Bry’s friend Dave came over to carve pumpkins for their company contest.

They didn’t win, but I think they should have. Bry’s is on the left: The eyes and mouth represent…something scientific. You’ll have to ask him. Ava carved the tiny jack-o-lantern.

We joined Bryan and Dave their company party for trick-or-treating on Tuesday. The kids debuted their costumes, which my mom made.

The Little Mermaid:

And a littler lion:

Then, the girls received a box of treats from Grandma and Grandpa Smith on Wednesday.

Today, we’re heading downtown for mass trick-or-treating, and we’re entertaining a few friends (and grandparents!!) tonight.

More photos soon!

11 months!

Olivia is 11 months old today.

New hobbies include walking, hanging out with Dad in the middle of the night, playing peekaboo and drinking whole milk.

Steps!

Olivia took her first (five!) steps tonight. Photos coming soon!

Olivia fix

I’m keeping the camera ready because one of these days, we’re going to see steps.

Not today, but someday soon.

It’s no rush, sweet baby. Believe me.
