13 Months and Walking!

hello baby...someone started walking today! what a great way to start your 13th month. i was at work when at around 4pm, I received a text from your daddy that said, "just got home and this is what preston does." i thought he was going to show me a big mess you've made that day, but to my disbelief, he sent me a video of you getting up from a squatting position, standing all by yourself, then turning around and walking to your walker. it made my day and i shared the video with all my co-workers announcing to everyone that you started walking today! i am sure they think i am nuts..well nuts about my baby, and they are right. i am so proud of you!

We Luv DC!

this weekend, we packed ourselves a little picnic and headed to the our nation's capital for an afternoon of dc chilling. the weather was beautiful, warm and sunny, although it's never really warm enough for me until it's in the 70s. however, i am extremely ready for spring, i look forward to longer days and spending more time with preston outside now that he's a little more mobile. i love dc in the spring and summer...we really need to spend more time getting to know good old dc better. i feel like i never fully appreciated living so close and i still don't know it well enough even though i work there everyday. well, i m excited to learn and explore it with my family, starting this year!

so anyways, away we went and we had ourselves a picnic on the mall, took some pictures and some videos, we rode on the carousel, walked around the natural history museum, and had ice cream at the sculpture garden while preston napped. it was so nice i didn't want the day to end. lovely way to spend a beautiful day with 2 of my favorite people on earth.
