She's off...
P.S. She had just put on a new pair of red shoes. She loved listening to them tap on the floor as she walked around the house.
Home with the Girlies
While Maddie was home resting, Isabelle was adding another monster scratch/bruise to her face. Yesterday, she fell on the umbrella and got a scratch on her forehead. Today, she fell on the chair and added one to her cheek. I love that she is walking and is so proud of herself, but I don't like all the bumps and bruises that come with it. It's probably a good thing we stayed inside today so I didn't have to listen to my friends joke about me being a bad mum!

Talk About a Bag Lady
Sunday is Maddie's special day. Well, after church, anyway. She can wear whatever she wants and do her hair however she wants without her Mom's input. Today, she chose her Hannah Montanna shirt and a tiered, floral and striped skirt. While looking for the gold, rhinestone belt to go with her shirt, she found herself on her bedroom floor with all of her handbags. I'm not sure what inspired her to tie them together and fill them with all of her stuffed animals, but here is the look she created for herself. Talk about fashion! Talk about a bag lady! I had the reputation of being a bag lady when I was little, but this... WOW! Maddie has taken over the title, today.
P.S. The bags were super heavy!
Small Glimpse of a Little Baby
While Isabelle is taking her first steps, I'm wondering what happened to my baby. This week, I put her down for a nap, got her out of bed, moved her into the carseat, put her into the car, took her out of the car, collected Maddie from cooking class at school, put her back into the car, and brought her into the house. I was amazed that she slept through it all and slept another half hour after we got home. I miss those days when she could sleep through anything. It doesn't happen very often anymore. And when we got home and while she was sleeping, I saw a small glimpse of a little baby that I had months ago. I don't know if it was just the hat or the blankets snuggled around her face, but I loved seeing that little baby again. It didn't last long enough. Once she was awake and out of the carseat, she was chatting away and trying to walk across the room to Maddie.
As for walking, she takes about six or seven steps at a time before she falls down. For anyone who has been to our flat, she can make it from the far edge of the carpet to the sofa. She'll be running before Christmas!
