She's Walking!

Lola's an official walker now! While she actually started taking steps 2 1/2 weeks ago (10 months old!) she's now preferring to walk over crawling. It's so cute and so cute when Teague gets so excited and says "LOLA'S WALKING! LOOK AT HER MAMA!" Here's a little video clip.

We had Teague in for his 3 year well child check and he continues to grow like a weed! Off the charts for height and "hugging the line" for weight (which is good - we like tall and lean!) and he's still incredibly adorable! He's now getting to the stage where he embarrasses us in public (not on purpose of course), but just with the things he is observing. The other night we went to Space Alien's (kids eat free on Tuesdays you know!) and the mascot Alien was walking around. If you have ever seen him you know he is a little scary looking - kind of looks like the character from the Scream movies. Anyway Teague would stand there and stomp his feet and point and shout "Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I AM SCARED OF THAT"! So next we went to Target and as we are walking down the main aisle past pharmacy, two Somolian women in their headresses are walking towards us and when they are literally less than 4 feet away from us (and in TOTAL ear shot) Teague freezes in his tracks and stomps his feet in place, points and SHOUTS "Oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh I AM SCARED OF THAT!" We moved on away as fast as we could. Perfect educational opportunity if he were like 5, but we sort of doubted he would understand a talk about ethnicity at this age!

The summer is winding down and of course I am SUPER sad about it. I love my time at home and have made the decision to return to work on Sept. 20th. It was a hard decision as I love staying home with my kids but I knew I would want to be in my job when my kids start preschool as we will all be in the same building together, which means our kids can ride with us to work and I can walk them to class and pick them up everyday (as long as they want that of course)!
