She's on the move!

Willow hasn't shown too much interest in walking the last couple weeks, but surprised us this afternoon while Skyping with Gramma and Grampa Seth. Here's how it progressed...

(Dear HCPS, I apologize if my daughter destroys my school iBook...)

Curls

Willow's "Pippi" curls have turned into tight little ringlets as her hair has gotten longer. Most days her hair looks like a jumbled mess, but with today's humidity they were irresistible little ringlets. Here are my best attempts at taking pictures of her on the move:

(the arm-out-photos didn't turn out too bad)

Does this mean she's a Yankees fan?

Inflatable Palace

Willow and I met Jeanne and Mckenzie at Inflatable Palace for Willow's last free trip before she turns one. The girls had a great time together!

(this is my favorite picture of Willow, even though it's blurry)

Dancing Queen

Willow's dancing began as a little knee-bounce while standing (no video yet) but has evolved into body-dancing. We find her to be quite cute and irresistible!

Again, couldn't decide on one favorite video, so you get TWO!

Drinking

So, I'll admit that once Willow began drinking successfully/independently from a sippy cup, I completely forgot about exposing her to drinking from a regular cup. We've started recently and she thinks it's quite entertaining. Last night, though, she apparently was more interested in talking than swallowing. We predict that she'll continue to be our dinnertime entertainment for years to come.

Again, couldn't decide on just one video...

Silly Girl, Crazy Cat

Willow has developed a love for fruit lately - especially grapes and strawberries. Somehow a grape ended up on the floor and Alli practiced her pouncing and demonstrated her overall craziness. I think in her dreams she's a professional soccer player.
