VIDEO POST: Baby's first steps! (with support)

We took Charlotte outside for some fresh air, and to play with her baby doll buggy today. It was VERY windy, but that's normal here. She had a blast, and to our surprise and amazement, she actually PUSHED the little doll buggy back and forth across our bumpy lawn. She even managed to negotiate the bumps in our shabby-looking grass!

She really didn't want the doll to ride in the buggy though, so she decided to take her out. This led to an interesting dilemma for Charlotte... you'll have to watch the video to see what that puzzle was, and how she decided to handle it!

Enjoy! She is not as cold as she looks in this video - she's wearing a long sleeved shirt under her sweater, and we were really only outside for about 15 minutes.

Playing in the Front Yard

These are just a few of the pictures we took today. Charlotte was playing in the front yard, exploring the grass and dandelions. She kept crawling toward me, trying to steal the camera from me. She managed to get a hold of the strap, which is why she's so close to the lens!


She can take some little steps behind this little baby buggy, if you nudge it forward while she's holding it, but she's still not steady enough to move herself forward. She is getting better at standing unsupported, and likes to stoop over and try to pick things up.

In this picture, she had just picked her baby doll up off the ground. She didn't like it when I put the doll inside the car - she just kept trying to pull her out by her hair.
