Walking! And Noooo!

Lilleigh has been walking! Since I took this video a few days ago, she's been walking a lot more! Like across the room voluntarily! ;) Truly a toddler! She's growing so fast!!!

Is He able?

We have a few soft spout sippys that she will drink from, but it's confusing for her to have to tip those but not the straws... if we had more straw sippys, I'd only use those. I may just put the spout ones away...  Learning to use utensils. I know this will be a long journey! But she does sometimes scoop food onto her spoon and then sometimes that food even makes it into her mouth! Ha! Loves to swing! She's loved this since she was a newborn. Back then it was in her Fisher-Price lamb swing. Now it's in her Little Tykes swing outside or the baby swing at the park. She's content there for a good hour, but she's lucky if mom lasts 10 minutes. Loves her wagon! We go on wagon rides often. And if I nee
