it's time

she is growing up....
a driver's license, "Hmmm, i don't know that's a BIG step."
YAY! we screamed ever so silently in our heads
lol

guess what cede just left to do???
wow,
wow wowzer!
have the camera ready to snap a picture when she comes home. hehe. what a "mom" day it's been, really the last couple weeks. goodness!

smiles- dean

she dazzles us!

one step,
two step,
and she is off......she's been working on it for a few weeks or so now (A+ for effort B4 her bday but she got distracted). the week before her birthday she added a new speed and some leg to her crawl think it slowed down her dsire to W-A-L-K ! then there was the new fad, bridge walk & she likes that well enough (hold on and walk-n-scoot along immobile objects). lastly, there was all her siblings to cart her around but now it's official and she is ready to explore...her favorite seems to be in the middle of the floor &just stand up- think she likes all the applause and oh! ah! i keep waiting for her to take a bow

wise words from a friend

... wishes people didn't disappoint one another so often. I guess that's part of the growing experience...to recognize how fallible we all are, forgive and move on.
