Rebecca and I disagree as to whether Aderyn took her first steps this week. She wouldn't walk towards Rebecca or I, but managed a stepping-while-falling approach towards Paela. She has been standing solo more and more often, and she loves to raise her hands above her head in the "So Big!" position.
We finally visited Walden pond this weekend. We had intended to take a nice long walk in the peaceful forest, but instead spent more time "wading up to our necks" in the water. At least, that is what Paela did. She saw the water and walked right in -- with her clothes on -- and sat down. It was fun and next time we'll bring our swimsuits.
There was a trip to the zoo somewhere in the week as well. Paela wanted to see the baby jaguar, just like on Diego. The bears tried to lick Paela through the glass, and she liked that. read more »
