Walkin', Walkin', Walkin'

Yep, the time has arrived...Miss Tabitha is now walking. Not a lot yet, but she knows how to do it. She proficiently stands and takes a few steps, then decides that walking is for the birds and reverts back to crawling. However, each day brings more and more steps.

Watch out Fred...your life is never going to be the same!!!

Here I come world!

Put me in the Zoo!

Tabitha invited her friends to an outing at the Minnesota Zoo recently. A good time was had by all and they all loved watching the animals. The new penguin exhibit is the best because the kids can get right up to the glass and the penguins will swim right up and see them. Tabitha is excited to invite her friends back again!

Look! Here are my penguin friends!

Come here Mr. Penguin!!

Ladies...I had a fabulous time...let's do it again soon!

Apple picking

A few weeks ago, Tabitha and I went apple picking. It is always a fun time down at Emma Krumbees. There is apple picking, the scarecrow festival, lots of baked goods, pony rides, camel rides, etc, etc. One cannot get bored.

This year we decided since Tabitha is still a little small to just do the apple picking. She was such a good helper by pointing at the apples she thought would be best and then holding onto them. We watched the pony and camel rides for awhile, and walked through the general store. We had a great time, but picking apples is hard work, so much so that Tabitha fell asleep on the way home!

Tabitha has this thing about seeing how tight of space she can cram herself into. It's quite amusing to watch, that is until she gets herself stuck and can't get out. One of her favorite places is between the two tiers of the coffee table. She'll endlessly crawl through this area time and time again. What a silly little girl we have!

See mama...no worries, I can totally get myself out of here! I am little Miss Flexibility!

What a fun day with the Babyroo today....even though she had to go to daycare, it was all of the fun things that she did today after we got home that made it so wonderful! Today was the first day that she went from sitting on the floor to standing up without holding onto anything (she subsequently practiced this over and over again), she would repeat the word mama back to me (yay!!!), and she learned how to play peek-a-boo by covering her own eyes. These were much too cute and just totally made my day.

My little princess is getting so old!!

The Box!

Can you tell the theme of the month? Now that Tabitha is crawling everywhere, so likes to explore new things. One thing that was pretty new to her was a box. If you didn't already know though, Fred's favorite thing is also a box. So, one night when they were cramming into one box together (usually Fred leaves, but when it comes to a box, he does not...even if Tabitha is "petting" and giving him hugs and kisses). In the end, we figured it was best if they each had their own box!

So happy together! (Or not...Tabitha was happy...Fred, well not so much!)

So happy that they each had their own box!

Tabitha is 1!

We had Tabitha's 1 year photos taken about a month ago. She did a great job considering it was a Friday evening photo shoot. One of her photos even made it on a poster that the photographer was using to advertise with. All of the photos turned out great, but here are the five that we chose to get digitally that we can share. (Thanks to our fabulous photographer...Jessica Barker! She was the one that did all of Tabitha's newborn photos in the hospital, too).
