Enjoying The Sun

We've had a bit of a sunny streak out here on the 'Wet Coast', so Bradyn and I have been trying to get out for walks more than usual (When you're starting from zero, that's not too hard). We went twice with Daddy last week, and today it was just the girls because Daddy was at work. Bradyn was all set to kick back and enjoy the scenery ... she had her ladybug shades, a drink in her hand and Mommy to do all the work. We stopped at the park along the way for a swing and a slide. Bradyn even managed to attract the attention of a little 2 1/2 year old boy named Jacob. Oh no - it's starting already!

Bradyn has had some pretty exciting firsts over the past week or so: she has figured out how to put her doll's bottle in the doll's mouth so she'll make drinking noises; she has progressed to walking on her feet with her walker instead of her knees; she can go all the way up, and down, the stairs and, she has learned to "Move like an Emu Moves". (If you have kids who watch The Wiggles videos, you know what I'm talking about. If not, it just means Brady now puts her hand in the air when the guys on the video do - it's really quite cute.) She's still not showing any signs of wanting to stand by herself or walk, but I swear she is speaking actual words amongst all that jibber jabber. I'm sure I heard 'I love you' this morning and 'Baby Beluga' this afternoon (although it sounds more like Beebee Boo). Last but not least, it looks like more teeth are on the way. She's had 8 for months now, but after all the drooling lately, I'm sure it's a molar I see coming in on the bottom. I wonder what's in store for us next.
