Gage Carly's walking... sort of

Gage surprised us all early this week with her first steps. She put five together and clapped for herself. She did it again a few days later, but has since been on strike. In an effort to capture them on camera we have these two videos. But, capturing Gage on video is easier said than done. As soon as she sees the camera, she drops to her knees and makes a crawling sprint for the camera (as seen in the first video!) Hopefully the strike will end one of these days and we can give it another try!

Wintertime notes






The months of January and February have flown by. Gage is getting taller, toothier, and more hairy (on her head) but has yet to take those precious first steps. She likes pointing to things (her favorites: Luca, book, light, and tongue) and is finding her lungs. Shrieking loudly during meal time is her new trick - especially in the dining hall. We are constantly being assured that she is "not that loud" but we feel like she is going to begin clearing the dining hall when they see her coming. She had a chance to visit with GF in New Hampshire and has spent several mornings with Gran and Grandaddy while we have skied. We're holding tight to that morning nap but I'm afraid it will disappear soon, as Gage wants more and more time to explore. The wiggle worm doesn't like to sit still. Life is good.
