8-9th month update

Here is the (as usual) much delayed update :) During the 8th month, Toria (her newest nickname) began standing by herself and took her first step. She has started waving bye-bye, drinking water from a cup, and using a spoon with a little guidance. She is a very active little girl and keeps me very busy chasing after her :) I am really enjoying this age :)





Toria got to enjoy her second snow at our house. She liked the snow, but not the snowsuit :)

Toria and I sledding down the driveway :)

Toria showing off her daddy girl ballerina outfit that Gramps could not pass up.

Gram and Gramps feeding Toria :)

Toria's next door neighbor friend, Madelyn, came over to help. Toria just loves Madelyn. Look at Toria's poor drool rashed and carrot dyed face :)

Love the Alfalfa curl :)

Ahhh...Toria and her daddy.

Surrounded by her toys :)
The snorting, drooling Toria. One of my favorite faces :)

Toria loves looking out the window....she and Soco :)
