Carving Pumpkins

Last night June had her first experience with pumpkin carving. It was fun! I will let the photos speak for themselves...















Oh yeah and I got a haircut- surprise!

The First Few Steps!

We can't believe it! June has been really working on standing up on her own and cruising around holding onto furniture but we didn't realize how close she was to walking. Then suddenly she tried taking a few steps and then a few more. It will take some more practice before she is very stable but she is definitely on her way!!!

Here is the footage! Go June Go!

June in a Box!

Got a couple of cute pictures last weekend while my family was in town that I thought I would share. We had an impromptu Thanksgiving dinner since Alex will be out in Colorado for the winter and won't be able to make it back for the real thing. June liked joining in the fun but wasn't crazy about the food. Strangely, she found the mashed potatoes to be the worst. Also have a video of June getting ready to walk, which we think looks pretty funny due to her size! That's all for now.

The Latest and Greatest

Not too much has happened since the last post. June is still happily dancing the days away! In fact, we are starting to wonder if all of her dancing is getting in the way of her progress in other areas?? (After all her Dad has that problem all of the time) No seriously, she has been working on climbing the stairs, with close supervision of course, but after each step she takes a dance break and sometimes forgets what she was doing in the first place. The same thing happens when she is standing holding onto furniture or walking behind her walker. Hilarious!

June and I are very proud of her Dad this week as he has earned a big promotion at work! We know how hard he has been working and think that he couldn't deserve it more. Thanks for everything you do for us. We love you, you are the very best.

As some of you know, June, Keith, Emily and I have been training for a 5K race that took place a couple of weeks ago here in Plainfield. The race was a success! Emily and I improved on our times from last time and Keith was a great motivator for me until the last half mile when I (allegedly) asked him to "stop talking." We also had the best cheering section around- thanks Leslie and June! Here are some post race photos:








Here are a couple pictures of June hanging out in her playroom...

Trying out and loving the swings at the park!
