First Steps

Mallory has been pulling herself up to stand for a week or so now. And just to give it a shot, I put her behind a stroller (a toy for early walkers) to see how she would do and SHE STARTED TAKING STEPS ALL BY HERSELF!!! Oh my goodness!!! I was so proud but so shocked!! Of course she is not ready for any unassisted walking, but I was just surprised that she just took off! Her legs aren't very strong yet, so I know it will be a while for a real walker, but still, it was her first steps!

Levi and Mallory are starting to play together more and more and I LOVE IT!!! Levi loves to wrestle with her and for the most part Mallory doesn't mind. They love to play on the bed (a bad habit that is COMPLETELY my fault!!) and jump around, fall down, and laugh. I just love to watch them play. Of course they have their fits with each other and Levi has hit and pushed Mallory a few times, but not many. They get along really well and I hope it keeps up throughout their entire lives! ;) As they are getting older it's harder to get good pictures of the two of them together. There are alot of opportunities, but never any good pictures! As you will see below, some are blurry, but at least it captured the moment!

Here's a picture of her first steps! Scott doesn't like her dress. He says it reminds him of an old lady's muumuu!

Here she is pulling herself up.

And trying to get on the bed to jump with Levi.

And here they are wrestling!

Just playin'!

Mallory's new favorite game - CLIMBING!! She loves this chair!
