Lauren has finally gotten the hang of walking! At 13 months, she’s finally getting around on her own two feet. I have some good video of it, but technology is failing me right now, so will post when I can. Below is a good old fashioned still shot of her and Julia, who are become best buddies.
Lauren 1 Year Check-Up
Lauren had her year check up just a few days after the new year. She’s weighing in a 21 lbs and is 29 inches long. That puts her in 71% for weight the 58% for height. She’s still not quite walking, but getting very close. She’ll happily walk when someone is holding her hand…but still isn’t confident enough to do it on her own. Here’s the happy girl standing confidently.
We’re walking!
It’s been a step here and a step there – but she’s finally getting the hang of it. When Benson isn’t knocking her over she’s actually getting in a good 5-7 steps. Here’s a short video. And here’s another from just a day later. She’s gettin’ good!
An Early Christmas and The First Steps!
Nana, Pap Pap and Becky came up this weekend to celebrate an early Christmas. Sophie got everything that she asked Santa for (he can understand her language) as well as quite a few other things. She also took her first two steps! Aunt Becky is happy to say that they were toward her. Videos to follow.
She tasted each and every box. This one looks like it was especially good.
Reading among the goods.
Sophie and Aunt Becky at Brad and Joan’s annual tree decorating party. Very color coordinated.
