Baby steps

Oh my goodness! I have been trying to keep up with all the amazing things these girls are doing, but in doing so, I'm really losing ground documenting all of their accomplishments. While Dalia is easily picking up simple math that I couldn't do in second grade and writing her own stories, Eloise is trying to say everything. She whispers like Dalia did when she's working on a new word. It's so sweet. She's thoroughly enjoying talking on the phone and because we've done face time with my brother and his family, she thinks the people she's talking to can see her. The waving at the phone is just too much! But, more importantly, she's walking!!!! Okay, she's taking steps. She loves to practice and gets so proud of herself it's infectious. She's much more cautious than her big sister was (an understatement), but no less independent. She will walk all over the house on her knees so she doesn't have to crawl and she can get from the kitchen to Dalia's room on her feet if you'll just give her your finger. We had Dalia try and help us with a video. Here it is. She takes a couple of steps and then throws herself forward in glee at her accomplishment.


I'm just so in-love with these girls. They are truly inspiring.
