Nadia walking!!

After weeks of practice and days shy of her first birthday Miss Nadia felt confident enough to walk around the house without furniture assistance!  I have been warned this is the beginning of chasing her around, preventing her from all kinds of things, and wanting to pull my hair out but I'm in total ignorant bliss right now :-)  Enjoy!!

Long Time, No Post :-(

Sooo sorry for the hiatus but Nadia's been more mobile plus with the holidays and all time just slipped by.  I do promise to keep up though, especially if Brandon goes away for a length of time at some point this year.  With that being said our biggest news is that we are expecting another baby (I deeply believe it's a boy) at the end of this summer.  I am in the middle of planning Nadia's first birthday party so busy, busy, busy this first trimester.

As far as a Nadia update goes:  she has her fifth tooth coming in as we speak; she's taking steps on her own here and there and she's babbling A LOT.  Words she says clearly:  Mama, Dada, baby.  Words/phrases she recognizes:  clap; arms up; arms down; wave; quieres agua? (do you want water?); come here; vamonos/let's go; look (over here, over there, etc.).  I feel like I'm bragging about commands my new puppy knows lol.  She loves to pretend she's on the phone and have a "conversation".  Her favorite is to sneak into her drawer and dramatically throw her clothes over her shoulder.  Here's a video of Nadia "reading".  Enjoy!
