October

Garland's 9th Month was full of firsts - her first pair or blue jeans, her first run in with a bully (bitten at daycare) and most importantly her first steps. About half way through the month she decided she would set the world a blaze and started walking. And not just stumbling...although there is a lot of that involved, especially when tired, but fast walking with intention. Places to go, people to see walking.



So, now are lives are full of chasing the wild girl all over the place.



and the chase is one of her favorite things...luckily she is not too hard to catch.

And of course, first steps lead to the need for your first pair of tennis shoes. So in true Atlanta fashion she sports her Adidas kicks all over the place. She loves them and plays with the Velcro endlessly. She also has extremely strong thighs...and can stay in this position for hours. Yoga instructors would be so proud...

And finally, we had our 9 month check-up, but at 10 months because we are a month behind. Garland remained in the high 90s for height and mid 70s for weight. The dr told me she was probably going to be long and lean...I laughed...

Fall

Fall...fabulous Fall,



and my first pair of blue jeans.

Life is good.
