Family Day

This past weekend we went to the Chicago Flower and Garden Show at Navy Pier. We had first gone there a couple of years ago, and had really liked it. So I took a day off on Friday, and we decided to make a family day out of it. We had a really good time, and Priya thoroughly enjoyed herself. Her favorite time was at the end when we sat by the vast carpetted area outside the exhibition hall. Priya was crawling all around, going up to people and letting out her characteristics squacks. It was so cute, and everyone loved her.






Here's a short video of Priya enjoying herself.



This past Sunday Priya took her first official step. Now let's not get too excited because she hasn't shown any interest in repeating the feat. But at least both Tish and I were there to witness it. The funny thing is that earlier in the day I caught her playing with her walker. I grabbed my phone and shot a video of it. In the first attempt (unfortunately not on film), she had walked all the way across the breadth of the basement. Here you see her stumbling a bit, but still - the mechanics are all there.

it is so funny, you go downtown to see flowers and all these amazing things, and one spends all the time capturing the toddler on video....ha ha. It looks like she has fun moving around on the carpeted area!

Nice about the walking.

This is kind of interesting (to those of us with one year olds): Addy LOVES walkers. She'll run around the entire house with them... but she will not take a step on her own. She hasn't even pulled herself up to standing without help! Once Priya gets the hang of it send her over to teach our little one!
