Tristyn went from zero to walking tonight...yup...that just happened.

Tristyn took a tiny, little step today. And, just when I thought it was a fluke she did it again.

She is still a very cautious traveler, though, so not sure she'll be running any time soon.

Also, I mentioned to Don that Gideon had four teeth on his first birthday and, as of today, Tristyn has none. Our pretty, little, toothless girl :-)

Three nights in a row Gideon has peed in the potty before bathtime. Tonight he kept getting a little more out and celebrating, "Yay!" with hands up over his head and then clap. He's very impressed with himself.

Just clocked in for my last night of work. I'm going to miss my Walkers family but AdvoCare is allowing me to come home and be a full-time stay-at-home, work-from-home mommy!!

Just caught Gideon playing with his Veggie Tale figurines, making voices for them, having them talk to each other. It's the first time he's done this.

Though, since his vocabulary isn't that extensive, Jr. and Laura's conversation mostly consists of "Oh, no!" "Whoa!" "Uh-oh" "Owie!" "Opp, sorry!" It seems they're very dramatic.

Gideon's Day: Get up. Watch cartoons. Eat breakfast. More cartoons. Discover new old toys from birthday. Play with toys. Go outside. Play in pool. Play in dirt. Bring dirt into pool. BUBBLES! Eat a picnic. Play in dirt. Take a tubby. Take a nap.

Boy knows how to rock a Monday.

Brought Tristyn home 7 months ago today...

We just received her NICU bill in the mail...

Breathing deeply and realizing she is worth every penny.
