First Steps!

Sophia turned 10 months old two days ago and on her birthday she took her first steps! I was sitting on the floor with her and she was doing her usual of cruising the furniture. Lately she has been standing on her own lately without holding onto anything. She was standing for about 15 seconds and I held out my arms for her to come to me. She took three steps into my arms without any support! Of course I couldn't get her to do it again for an audience, but Justin verified the next day that she was doing a bit of walking for him as well. We got out the "walker" to push to walk around and she's been going crazy with it! I think she will be walking more than crawling very soon!

We are getting ready for Halloween! Chasen has brought home multiple pumpkins from various festivities so we decided to make one into a Pirate Pumpkin! Using Potato Head pieces, Chasen cut out the holes for the parts and helped scoop out the insides. We then baked the pumpkin seeds for a nice snack. Of course, it wasn't necessary to scoop out the seeds but Chasen wanted to show us the "beans" inside the pumpkin that he had learned about in preschool that week! He's learning more every day!
