These boots are made for walkin'

...and that's just what she'll do!

Chloe has been crawling for a while now and has recently back-tracked in the way of trying to walk. We thought she had just given it up completely until Sunday. She was standing idly next to me and Britton was vying for her attention a few feet away....Chloe just TOTALLY walked 6 or 7 steps over to him like it was no big deal! She proceeded to spend the whole day trying to walk and would giggle and squeal with 'I'm so proud of myself' grin on her face! She took the next couple of days off. I think she was overwhelmed by her prowess and just wanted to be a clingy baby again. But she is back at it again! By the way, we must gush, she is not even 9 months old! What a little sports star!

In this video she's not getting too far...she's a bit too excited!

Chloe has also been...eating all big people food, doing the motions to "Wheels on the Bus", showing everyone that she is "sooooo big!", quacking like a duck, playing pat-a-cake and clap your hands, waving "hi" and "bye", dancing, pushing me away when she wants to play alone, giving her baby doll many many kisses, giving us only some kisses, jumping on the bed and, interestingly enough, refusing liquids.

...and after...Her new favortie game: destroyer of clean folded laundry
