Stop and Smell the Dandelions




















Maybe I should have titled this 'These Shoes Were Made For Walking'! Now that Elise has discovered her feet, she's off and running....and not looking back! I don't know who is happier- Elise or us. Luckily the weather has been so beautiful (today 80 degrees) that we've been spending a lot of time outdoors. It's a perfect season to be learning to walk! Yesterday, Elise took off walking up and down the sidewalks around our house. She's still a bit wobbly but wasn't deterred by the hard concrete. I tried coaxing her onto the grass but she much preferred walking on a 'path' instead.








Today, we went to the park next to the Holland library. Normally we would spend some time swinging but that fun didn't compare to walking! Eventually we made our way to the library but not until we logged some laps around the park. Are baby miles shorter in distance than regular miles? If they are, we walked an equivalent to a baby marathon!








Sorry for all the pictures but I can't get enough of Elise on her feet! It was such a long wait that I relish the fact that we've reached this big milestone!!!!
