Walking Girl

Whitney has started walking and we are very proud of her.  It took a lot of work to try to get her to take her first steps, but now she does it on her own.  Each day, Whitney gets a little better and takes more and more steps.  This video shows her walking for some scissors; don't worry, we were very careful to not let her poke herself or anything like that.  The most steps I have seen Whitney take at one time was ten, so she is getting there and we are really proud of her accomplishments.  Soon we won't ever get any breaks.

Here is Whitney with her new red pants, eating a toy.  When do children grow out of that phase?  She has to have a toy when I try to take pictures, or she will come to the camera instead of sitting still.

Here Whitney is clapping for herself in the kitchen. Lately, Whitney really likes to clap and will do it at random times, like during prayers and whatnot. She must have two parents who play a lot of pat-a-cake with her.

This is a funny picture because Whitney is "reading" the newspaper. We get a funny free newspaper every Wednesday that just has ads in it. Whitney loves to hold it and rip it and eat it, that's when the paper gets thrown in the trash.

Here Whitney has something to say to Will, but he isn't paying attention because he was on the phone, so she had to start yelling at him. It was kind of funny.

Last weekend we went into Spokane because my younger brother Conner had a competition with Destination Imagination. I had never heard of it before, but it was kind of neat. And it is always fun to see my mom and Conner.

Whitney waited very nicely for Conner's skit and competition to start. She was very good and quiet during the whole thing.

Here is Conner's skit; they had to do everything themselves and I was impressed by it. Then we all went out to lunch afterwards. So it was a really fun day. The weather is finally starting to warm up again; I hope the sunniness stays. Bye!
