First steps

Today has been an eventful day at our house. Not because we have had a lot going on, though. On the contrary, it was actually an in-house day. We took Boxer to the groomer, and I went to my local yarn shop for some knitting and visiting. That pretty much covered my time away from home today. The eventful part of the day actually happened at home, while I was gone. Baby Girl started walking today. She's taken a step here or there, but today, she was taking multiple steps (7 or 8) and would perform it on demand. It was pretty exciting to see when I got home. Of course, she wouldn't walk for me right away when I got home. She was so excited to see me that she just wanted me to hold her, and the fastest means of transportation is still crawling. But, after a few minutes of being held, I stood her in the middle of the floor, took a few steps back, and called her to walk to me...and she did! I forgot how thrilling it is to see that!

So, hubby and Little Miss went to the gym to go swimming, and I had supper ready a little earlier than I thought they would be home. Baby Girl was begging for food, so I made the decision to go ahead and eat without them. We were eating stir fry and rice, and I was feeding Baby Girl because I didn't want to have to clean up the rice mess. But, I stepped out of the room to get a little more rice, and her bowl was within reach. So, when I came back in, there was broccoli on the floor, greens on the table, and a strip of red pepper in her hand. Apparently, my child likes colorful food, as long as it isn't green! She ate all the non-green veggies and lots of rice, then grabbed the greens and one by one started throwing them on the floor. Each time one would hit the floor, she'd look at me and say, "Uh-oh." Uh-oh...right.
