And she's off!

Myla has been practicing her walking all week and now she rarely gets down to crawl. She loves to walk holding something - or two somethings - and taking it from one place to another. She has these two bouncy balls that she'll throw at the same time. Of course she can only chase one, but that doesn't diminish the fun! Occasionally she'll have her hands up in the air like when we would walk with her, but over all, she just goes. She has also discovered the beauty of digital cameras and loves to see the pictures you take of her. She knows that when that silver box comes out, you smile and get to see a baby on the back - she's no dummy.

Today, Myla and I went to Aim's pool to beat some of this heat. This time she was really into it. I would sit her up on the ledge and she would lean/jump off of it into my arms and laugh and smile. She would kick her little legs or splash me and Aim. I think I messed her up though. I let her stand on the step in the pool and play and then tonight, when we got in the bath, she stood the whole time. Do you know how hard it is to wash a baby when they are standing? Ugh. But she got clean, and that has to count for something.

We are also very excited about the newest addition to the Washburn family, debuting on 7/7 (lucky kid). Laphi Kingston was born to Kirsty and Tony healthy and strong. We can't wait to meet him!
