The Evolution of the Scoot...

Our Rachel is 14 1/2 months old.  She took her first steps last Saturday.   A few days prior she would just stand up from sitting on the floor and look proud of herself then fall down.  Saturday morning she stood up and took a half step with her left foot when I said, "walk."  Later that day she took two steps to Daddy and then three steps after that.  Now we're back to scooting fast and crawling slow.  For the sake of taking everyone to the park,  I'm hoping she walks soon! Though,  I do believe I will miss the scooting when it's all over and she's moved upright.  This has been new to us, the boys just crawled. Scooting isn't particularly unique-  lots of kids do it,  but it does distinguish her.  The nursery helpers at church all know her and everyone gets a half smile and chuckle when she bonk bonks herself across the room.  We used to just laugh and say she's our little scoot and that's what fat kids do ha ha.  Lately I think of her scooting as a sign of how smart and sophisticated she is.  She's mostly upright and can see the world as she travels.  She can even hold a drink!   I can just picture her scootin on up with her sippy and saying,  "Darrrling,  won't you freshen this up for me?" 
So there you have it,  the last post I'll every do about scooting because,  sniff sniff,  I think Rachel is very close to moving on! 
Here's the best action I could catch last Saturday...
*Please don't be alarmed by Aaron's overgrown hair,  he hasn't lost his job or suffered a bought of depression or anything.  He just needs to week of reminders before he does for a haircut.  That's just the way he rolls....
