Our big girl A' got her first hair cut. And it was more than a mere trim! The longest cut section was nearly 5 inches. She is now sporting a really cute bob! I totally agree with Rick's assessment: I didn't think she could get any cuter, yet here we are :)

After (new look - 1 day old)

Baby is growing up so fast!

Wow-Wee she just turned 1!! Seems like it's flying by... she is walking 5-6 steps at a time, climbing/crawling up stairs, her 6th tooth is almost in, she is feeding herself some food, and started drinking water from a strawed cup, nursing less, sleeping alone more, giggles and babbles, prompts peek a boo, claps, waves, points, high fives, plays and plays. She has occasionally waves and says ba-ba (bye-bye) and da-da (daddy) though we are not sure it's not just part of her babble. Either way her collection of sounds and gestures are growing.

April: Zoooooooo

I'm getting brave! After some help fell through the morning of, I decided to take my girls to the zoo by myself. I was briefly tempted to cancel, but the girls were looking forward to it. Our first attempt back during Penguin Days in the winter failed due to the weather, so I really wanted this to be a success. And despite the sporadic rain and significant crowds we had a great time! Ok, ok, complete disclosure... we did meet some of our homeschool friends there and made the rounds in a small group. After almost 5 hours of walking, carrying, picnics, potty breaks, diaper changes, nursing, playing, visiting, learning... we were all exhausted. We created a great memory of baby M's first trip to the zoo :)
