Lids, Spoons, and BIG GIRL STEPS!!!

First of all, on January 18, 2012 Marin Jordan stood up in the middle of the room all by herself and officially took about 4 steps! She has taken steps before when she would walk back and forth to me or Burke. But this was the first time she initiated it all by herself, so we are saying that these little steps are HER first! Since then she has taken a few more steps here and there but her favorite thing to do is stand up on her own. She does it on top of her slide, her little bike, the high chair.....you can see the problem. But we definitely have to get a video of it because she starts out in the downward dog yoga pose and then pushes herself up.

And a couple of her new favorite things to do....

She loves putting the lids back on bottles and containers. She can screw them on but
can't quite figure out how to get them back off. She was so very happy to get
different bottles and lid sizes to play with....

It has been so fun watching her learn how to do simple things like this and to watch
her have so much fun doing it! 

And this has been a fun one for a while now.....but stirring with a spoon!
Any time she has yogurt I have to get two spoons. One for her to stir with and the other for me to feed her with. :o)She can get some bites to her mouth and she does it quite well....it just takes FOREVER so
I sneak in bites with my spoon. :o) 

She looks guilty here.  

Stir, stir, stir....

And an oldie but she still plays with her stacking cups some days. This particular day she was studying them real intently so I snapped a few pictures. 

Her shirt says "Big Sister in Charge".  Ha!
