This and That...

So, I truly think Sadie is going to start walking within the next month or so. Over the past couple of weeks, she's gone from crawling, to monkey walking, to pulling up, to standing on her own. This morning, she used my arm to pull herself into a standing position. I gave her a toy to hold and she absentmindedly let go of my arm and just stood there for a good 4-5 seconds before she wobbled and dropped. I am amazed that she seems to be ready to walk so early! Hannah didn't even start cruising until she was almost a year old. I think Sadie is so determined to keep up with her big sister, that she might just bypass the whole crawling thing. Her unique monkey walk cracks me up. Basically, she's walking like the rest of us, but with her hands on the floor. It's so strange..she prefers that to regular crawling. I haven't taken a good picture to really show you what it looks like, but my mom got a few while she was here last weekend.
Also, just wanted to post this cute picture of Hannah and her friend, Katy. We went to story time yesterday then out for lunch. They were so cute eating their dessert together. For two little girls with totally opposite personalities, they get along really well together...and genuinely miss each other when too much time passes between play dates. They're too cute. After we parted ways yesterday, Hannah asked where Katy was going ...if she was coming over to our house? I said "no- ms. becky and katy have some other stores to go to before they go home. we'll see them later". And Hannah said "but I need her, cuz I love her." lol
Oh- and Hannah drew this the other day and I thought it was so good! She obviously thought it was awesome too, because she went right ahead and stuck it on the fridge herself.
