standing alone

Virginia is starting to stand without holding on to anything. She stood the longest this afternoon, a whole 5 seconds. I was so proud of her. I think she knows that she is doing something great because she gets the biggest smile on her face. She refuses to take steps though, I will walk with her holding on to her arms and she just stands there. Oh, well. She isn't even 11 months old and I am in no big hurry for her to walk.

We purchased out tree and I had it all decorated when she was napping. I was so excited for her to see and to see the look on her face when she woke up. What did she do...look at and look away. She could not have cared less. In fact she dosen't even go over to the tree when she is on the floor. I know that is a good thing but it is just weird. I thought babies liked to pull the ornaments off the tree. She just likes to grab the presents.

I have hers and my stockins completed. I decided to hold off on finishing Johns, it is going to take a long time.

I just found out that Courtney is pregnant now. It is going to be crazy when all of the family gets together after this summer. There will be three new babies and Virginia, Marlee and Naiyah. It is going to be loud! Everyone bring your earplugs!
