Ella Ballerina

“Look Mama, I’m ballerin-ing!”

Yesterday morning as we were getting ready for the day, I turned to see this girl lightly and steadily walking her way along the ledge of our bed, arms held out at her shoulders.

“Look Mama!”

“Oh you’re balancing!!”

“Yea!”

She ran to the other side of the bed and performed her balancing act on the opposite ledge. And then:

“Look Mama, I’m ballerin-ing!”

This time I turned to face a tiny little ballerina, holding the sweetest little ballet pose. She was even pointing her toes. She held it long enough for me to grab my phone, frozen with pride. I’m so glad she let me capture it.

What a sweet little ballerina. I can’t wait to get her in class. I think she’s going to love it.

Walkin’ Fool

always on the move, always a blur…

This little peanut has discovered the magic of legs and she is hooked.

The lollipop really took off over the Christmas holiday and these photos are actually from our weekend at Grandma’s house, three weeks ago.

These days she is walking. Everywhere. And walking only. She’s so over the crawling…

It’s such a treat to see this little lady grow in confidence with each step she takes. I love getting to experience the joy of something that us grown-ups consider mundane – we probably never really think about how cool it is to walk – but to her it’s OH MAH GAH, IMA WALKIN’!!!

I’m so thankful to relive these little things through these girls of ours.
