Its Official!!!

Samantha has started walking! Just barely a week shy of the 11 month anniversary of her birth, Samantha is up and running. She must have woken up this morning and decided that today was the day. I swear she wasnt doing this yesterday! Kids are funny like that I guess. Everything in thier own time. Im just sorry that Corey wasnt here to see it. He made me promise to put a book on her head until he came home! Oops!

Im just going to note this down... Im sure, some years into my future, that time will come when I get asked the question... Who did what first and when?

For the record:

Emily Crawling: 5 months (Crazy! I know!)

Emily Walking: 11 months 1 week (The only reason I know the exact week is because we had just put up our Christmas tree at the time. I am vigilant about getting it up the day after Thanksgiving.

Samantha Crawling: 7 months

Samantha Walking: 10 months 3 weeks

So, I guess that means they are even!

Thanks for sharing in my excitement!

Until next time,

Cheers!

Yes...I know its sideways! Sorry! Will try to fix later!

A trip to the Salon!

I told you all it was coming! Emily's precious locks HAD to be cut! We thought it was a good idea to give her a fresh new "do" to start the school year off with a bang! Emily has only had one haircut in her whole 2 1/2 years of existence. It was time.

I took her to her "stylist" and good friend Jennifer. She was a little hesitant to sit in the chair at first. She said she did not want "cut hair". One hug and a dumb-dumb sucker later, she was up on the chair and ready to be pampered! It was a great experience for everyone! We love our Jennifer and she did an amazing job on our little girls CRAZY head of hair!

Before the first cut! Jennifer and Emily with her long and luxurious locks!

Samantha...keeping herself distracted on the floor.

Happy with her sucker!

Getting her hair sectioned off...she wasn't too sure about this part!

The first cut was definitely the hardest...for Mommy!

Shot from the side!

Finished and ready to be dried! Emily LOVED this part!

Giggles with Jennifer!

Almost done! Emily could not stop looking at herself!

Viewing the final product! I love this picture!

TA-DA!

Ready for my close-up! What a beautiful little Lady!

...and of course, hugs for Samantha! (who was very fond of the spinning chair!)
