Sutton Walked Today!!!

Sutton took some steps today without any help!  She did it several times, but the most so far was about 7-8 steps.  She even stopped with her foot lifted to regain her balance, and then took a couple more steps...I'll post video on dropshots when we can get it.  She's such a big girl!
I've added video of her walking later in the evening.

Valentine's Day with Sutton


So, Jack and I had reservations at Del Frisco's for dinner on V-Day, but we decided we were too cheap to go...actually, I was just excited about dessert, and we decided that we could get a yummy dessert at a cheap place!  We went to Hooter's--yes, on Valentine's Day!  Am I the coolest wife or what????  We had dessert at Hooter's, and then we went to Prairie House with Sutton for dinner.  We had such a good time, and Sutton got really tickled at dinner.  Check out the pics and video on our dropshots page.

Long Overdue Update on Sutton


























Here's the rundown:

Christmas was great, and Sutton got lots of fantastic things from everyone--toys, shearling boots, Baby Einstein videos, her first chair, clothes, books, and rocking sheep.  She definitely racked up the goods, and we had so much fun with her!  We spent Christmas at my parents' house and Jack's parents came over for Christmas dinner and some Wii sports.  

What's Sutton doing now?  Well...
1.  She's pulling up on everything
2. She's walking behind a walker 
3. She's walking while holding just one of our hands
4. She's saying Mama, though she's not connecting it to me
5. She's clapping and starting to wave
6. She's eating all kinds of baby food and real food: tiny pieces of bananas, peaches, bread, chicken, turkey, green beans, and lots of other stuff---peas, rice, avocado--she's such a good eater!
7.  Her hair is getting pretty long, and I'm thinking about cutting some little bangs.
8. She loves the doggies, and Koda seems to really like her too
9. She only likes books to chew on
10. She loves the bath and bath toys
11. She's gone to daycare during MOPS and did so well
12. She's starting a swim class in March
13. She loves the swing at our neighborhood park

Oh, and we've got a new nephew Cade!  I'll post pics when I've got them.
