Walking!

Four days after her birthday, Azrielle, who had been walking four to five steps at a time, up and walked all over the house. She is a pro now, stepping over obstacles, turning, dodging Avery and even a little running.

A couple of weeks ago we were just hanging out outside and Azrielle walked over to the trampoline, got on and started to jump. I just happened to get this video of it. She has no problem with the stairs, she goes down backwards and climbs up all by herself.

Near the end of the video she pats her tummy, this is the sign for 'dog'. She can spot a dog before anyone else. She loves dogs, the other day at the park I was watching Avery on the equipment, I thought Azrielle was right beside me. Then Avery starts to run at me asking if he could pet the dog, I turned and Azrielle had already taken off toward the lady walking her two dogs through the park.

Happy 1st Birthday!

OK, this is a little late, but here it is. We had fresh blueberry pancakes. Azrielle loved them!

I found out that they were having Kuna Days out in Kuna, so we decided that is what we would do for the day. It was a nice HOT day, we slathered the kids in sunscreen and headed out.

There was a free kids carnival, most of the rides were water rides, I did not bring clothes for the kids to change into so we kept away from those mostly.

We got Azrielle all settled in to the swing and they were getting ready to start it and a lady comes around asking who the parent's were to the little girl. She told us that Azrielle was too small to ride. Azrielle had something to say about that when I went in and took her out, she loves swings.

There were a couple of guys walking around on stilts, Jeremy took Avery over and held him up.

Our little Azrielle loves animals. If there is a dog around, she will find it and get as close as she can. There were a couple of people with dogs sitting at the bench were we ate lunch.

 Azrielle had lots of help from Mom and Avery to open her gifts, she did not know quite what to do yet. I bet Christmas will be a little bit different.

After she finally tasted, with Mom's help, her cupcake, she nibbled it down to nothing. She played with it for awhile before I went over and put her hand in her mouth so she could get a taste. Then very daintily she took   little bites until it was gone.

Avery must have eaten his cake and ice cream so fast that he needed eye protection.
