I had forgotten how wonderful it was to watch the baby walking for the first time. Maybe because Nicolas just got up on the walker and strolled right across the floor without ever looking back. He never crawled either, he just ran through the house at 9 months. He had great balance on his feet. She on the other hand is taking her time. She has been standing for quite some time, however she did not dare take her first steps until Saturday morning. Once she succeeded at taking at least two steps, she never sat back down. She tried it again and again until she managed to walk approx. 10 steps on her own. I was hoping that she would wait until omi and opi came to visit, but I think she will be running by then. This is so fun!
She also got two bottom teeth in this morning and we did not even notice. She spent five hours at the dealership and never even whined. She is just remarkable. I want five more of her. That makes 6 teeth in less then 1 1/2 mos.
We bought a car. How is that for some more good news. We got a great deal on a used Honda Odyssey Touring 2005 model. Yes I feel quite spoiled, but also quite safe. Time to seriously start cracking down and saving money. Yippee! I am excited that we finally have a car where everything fits and we can get everyone in the car. Nicolas is just tickled pink with his sunroof and DVD player. I love the GPS and satellite radio, fold away seats, hydraulic powered doors…should I say more.
I hope this means February will look a bit more positive.
