Dance Fever

From the time she learned to stand, Lanie has been unable to stop herselself from dancing when she hears music. Eveything from Coltrane to the obnoxious ditties on the radio seem to make her move.





Here she can be seen composing some music on the keyboard before activating the built in demo song. It's almost as if she only has a second or two to brace herself before she is completely overtaken by the funk. It's amazing that our brains are born knowing how to groove, but take several years to gain the control necessary not to poop ourselves. I'm in awe.



The oppresive heat has kept us largely indoors for the past couple of weeks, but we did find time recently to take a swim.




It's hard to believe that our little beauty is almost one! She continues to get better every day, and life without her is a distant memory. We're very proud of the progress she makes on a daily basis. We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Baby Steps...

We have a walker! Ms. Beautiful has been growing more confident in her balance over the last couple of weeks, and yesterday took her first few steps toward greatness.

Allison and Aunt Robin can be heard in the background cheering her on.

We are all very excited to see what additional hijinx and near-death situations she will be able to get herself into now.

When we're not checking milestones off of our list months ahead of time, we like to spend time relaxing. Trips to the park, pool and Magic House have highlighted the Summer so far.

This week, we went to the park for a ride on the swing.
