Look Who's Walking!

I can't believe my baby is walking now! Just in the last week she has gained so much confidence and now is full-on walking!



I was watching her last night, just marveling at the miracle each little developmental "step" is. It just amazes me how she just knows what to do! How those chubby little feet can balance and carry her to wherever she wants to go. She is growing up so fast. It's hard to believe she'll be one year old next month. I do have to confess though - walking is a stage I was looking forward to. Dirty knees and tops of feet were getting kind of old.



(No! This dirt isn't off of my floor - this was taken in Samoa, but I will admit that keeping floors mopped and vaccummed is not my forte!) Bye-bye dirty feet!

Some of the other sweet things Lily is learning:

"Kisi" = Samoan for "kiss": Lily LOVES to kiss her daddy and other babies - her mommy, not so much, but that's ok. The open mouth super slobbery kisses just kill me!

"Please": Lily will give you ANYTHING as long as you say "please" - I love it! I know this won't last, but for now, it's working!

"Siva" = Samoan for "dance": Lily LOVES dancing! Especially to cell phones! Pretty much any music she hears, she gets her groove on and wiggles and shakes away! (Definitely from her Samoan side!)

These are my top three favorites right now - I could go on and on and on! Just last night Wow and I were watching her play with her toys and we were talking about how we just can't believe this little angel is ours. We never could have imagined how our lives would change once she came to us. We are so blessed!
