Time flies when you are having fun and the Murray house is having tons! R is now a walker! Two days before my big 3-0 (how am I that old??) the little lady just took off! Most people talk about their kids taking a few steps at first before they start really going. Not our girl. Jim stood her up in her room and before he new what was happening she walked across the room! Of course when I got upstairs for a repeat performance she declined. :-) But later that day she showed off her skills and walked over six feet before sitting down. And how quickly the days of crawling seem to be behind us. Very rarely anymore is she crawling. This week she ran to the garage door when she heard Jim come home and greeted him with her usual squeals and a great big hug. She has also discovered her voice and how she can make a high pitched squeal.... cute the first time, not so much after that! :-)
We ventured into uncharted territory as parents two weeks ago and went to NY for a couple of days while R stayed with Grandpa & Grandma H. While it was nice to get away, we missed her like crazy and quickly decided that extended trips without her were not going to be a part of our normal routine. But she had a fantastic time and we're pretty sure she barely noticed we were gone. :-) She even got to finish her visit in Indy by meeting her new second cousin Jenna, who is ADORABLE!
We have the costume all set for our little lady and just hope that she cooperates to keep it on! :-)
Here are some pics from the past month!
Surely a suitcase is a good place to sit.
