Baby Girl Is Walking

It's official: we no longer have a baby; we have a toddler. My heart has a moment of mourning at this thought, knowing that Presley is our last child and that some of those precious baby moments are now behind us. But I'm also excited for the changes that her toddling brings. Mostly, I'm glad that she'll no longer be picking up (and eating) every tiny piece of fuzz or hair that might be on the floor. I'm thrilled that I no longer have to vacuum constantly too. (Although, quite frankly, we weren't as good about this as we should have been.) And I'm excited that soon I won't be carrying her everywhere we go!

Presley can now get across the room without holding on to anything and without falling. She still crawls when she's in a hurry--and, wow, is she fast!--but she chooses to pull herself up and try walking much of the time. She's quite proud of her new accomplishments and enjoys the attention it garners.

Now, if I could just teach her to vacuum...
