Been meaning to post a video of baby climbing stairs. The other day, we were downstairs watching a movie while baby was sleeping upstairs. We heard her cry, but thought she might go back to sleep… a few minutes later the crying stopped and we continued watching our movie. Baby walked downstairs and into the kitchen… after climbing down the stairs without our supervision. We thanked God for protecting her. We had always supervised as she went up and down stairs, but this time, she did it by herself…
Anyways, here’s a video of her many tricks, i.e. going up the stairs.
This was posted on our Facebook page, but for those of you who don’t care about FB, here is a video of one of baby’s first steps. She still walks like a drunk man, but slowly she’s getting the hang of things. I’m teaching her how to go up and down stairs, as well as getting off the bed and sofa without crashing on her head.
Last week was baby Geezlouie’s first birthday. Fun as usual. Party within a party. Lots of family, lots of excitement and the usual unexpected turns of events. Yes, I’m being particularly vague just to protect the innocent…
This past weekend was a quick visit to another 1 year birthday party. 1 year olds just have no clue what’s going on. Near the end of the party was when things go really exciting. Eliana threw up for the first time. This wasn’t your usual spit up milk. It was the whole split pea soup throw up from the exorcist…. it didn’t just happen once, but twice… Eliana was fine, but I was definitely traumatized. She continued playing and kissing people like nothing happened. Scary, but I guess she felt better… :) We ended up borrowing the other birthday girl’s clothes.
Lastly, I’m starting to realize that I’ve been growing. Not the growing taller part… but the growing wider part. My pants are getting tighter and harder to button up… but it wasn’t till yesterday that I realized that the same pants I wore three to four years ago are no longer fitting comfortably. The button popped off my pants. Luckily I wore a sweater to cover up the faux-pas, but still…
As of today, I’m going on a strict regiment… gonna run miles, eat healthier, gonna be healthy :) If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
so far i like the 30s, at least much better than my teens or 20s. life just seems to be getting better and better. i wonder if my 30th birthday will be somewhat symbolic of the rest of my 30s, warm and low-key… i think i could deal with that. ( =
baby report- now baby seems to recognize 3 words. at 9 months she can’t really speak any, but she does know “water”, “milk”, and “cheerios” – all in Chinese of course.
Thanks for visiting us. We are a family touched by the grace of Jesus Christ. We hope to share this blessing with all who visit here.
May God richly bless you!
