Mary Walks a Lot!

Layers: John slept in a white undershirt, then woke up and put on his fire engine pajama bottoms and race car pajama top. Then later int he morning, he put on his train overalls and his hand-me-down tuxedo shoes to complete the ensemble.

John was the first to come down with a cold last Saturday and we've each been succumbing since. We're running on very little sleep and are getting crabbier by the day. Today was gorgeous weather--probably nearly 70 degrees--so I took us outside, with the kids' runny noses and my near-laryngitis. You can see in the photos that Mary is in her pajamas and I just stuck shoes and a sweater on her.




Mary is walking so competently! She can even walk up the two steps from our sunken den into the kitchen, but she can't yet walk down steps. She took her first step five weeks ago and you can see in this photo that she walked for two-and-a-half minutes before I finally quit filming because she wasn't falling down. She walked for several more minutes before stumbling again. And later she got her first fat lip when trying to walk down the step from our upper deck to our lower deck--see, I said she couldn't do stairs yet!
