Walkabouts

Well our little Chloe is really starting to walk around a lot by herself. She's been able to take steps alone for a couple of weeks but she would only take one or two and then fall down and start crawling instead. Now she's able to walk half way across a room and if she falls down she will often get back up and try again.

And as you can see from the pictures she is always interested in whatever is just out of her reach. So she's come up with some creative ways to make herself just a little bit taller like standing on something or standing on her tiptoes. In these pictures she was wanting Lia's drink that is on the table. And she was determined to get it! Chloe's other great love in life is the telephone. She LOVES to push the buttons!!! And she knows if you take the battery out because then the buttons don't make any noise. And no, you can't fool her with play phones either - she knows the difference there too. So often we will call someone we know (like Nana or Auntie Julie) and put the phone on speaker and then let Chloe "talk" to them. She just gets a big smile on her face when she hears a voice she knows. It's adorable!
