Ta-Da!

March 24, 2011 by Aliesha

Vera pulled herself up and stood last night for the first time!  Here’s a little animated gif to prove it:

And I know it looks like Tad was helping her up, but he wasn’t!

Don’t you love our green shag carpet?

Nap Protest

March 22, 2011 by Aliesha

Since Vera has been able to sit up on her own, she has started protesting her naps (i.e. sitting up and not sleeping!) on a somewhat regular basis.  Sometimes these are angry protests, with tears and lots of drama…

 

And sometimes these are happy protests, with giggles and smiles!

 

And sometimes she takes naps without any protesting.
