Boo at the Zoo

Our little monkey had fun at the zoo. She couldn't take her eyes off all the kids in their costumes. She loved the tiger, too. She enjoyed getting nerds and dots because she loved the sound they made when she shook them uncontrollably.

The Walk

Ridlee loves to run when she is holding on to toys that move. Yes that right RUN not walk. For the past week Ridlee has been walking/running back and forth between me and Travis. At first she would take 2 steps then fall forward. Now she can walk ten feet before she falls. She has learned to slow down and not run. She hates to fall and if we don't catch her she gets discouraged and stops walking for the night. She is so cute when she walks. She giggles and sways. She has great balance when she is standing. She has been standing for a few months and she dances. I thought since she was standing and dancing that it wouldn't be a big stretch to walk, but to her it is. She doesn't want to walk unless she can do it perfectly. It won't be long now until she starts running all over the house.

Ridlee's 1st Birthday Party

She did pretty good opening her presents. Of course her cousins had to help and took over some of the time. She loved all her presents and played with them for hours afterwards. She dug right into the cake. She loved it. When she's eating somthing that she really likes she does touchdown. She did touchdown quite a few times. She didn't even mind being put into the sink to wash off afterwards. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who came and helped celebrate with us!
