VICTORY! In the past few weeks "Victorious Victoria" has made great strides in her movement. I can now officially say she is crawling - and not the army crawl or scooting crawl - but the cute crawl on her knees with her little behind swaying from side to side. She is on the move for things like shoes, Mama's jewelry, telephones, cameras and laptops; she loves accessories and technical equipment. We have been busy going to story and music time at the library, Gymboree, physical therapy (or "exercise class" as I like to call it) and playdates with her friends. She is so social - everywhere we go parents remember her name and always say "Hi Victoria" and she always smiles and waves. The best compliment she's received is when a friend said Victoria is always happy and smiling every time she sees her. She loves petting dogs, tearing paper, playing with catelogs, playing peekaboo, standing, cruising, crawling, knocking down block towers, throwing balls, clapping and waving. Apparently this 11 month old is completing all her milestones in the last month before she turns one.
But just don't get this baby upset by taking toys (or lotion bottles) away from her or you will hear her powerful lungs. This baby has a temper! I love it! Iwonder where she got that from?
Hello Gorgeous!
Cruising (or what JZ calls furniture surfing)
Pulling to stand.
"Bahhh"
Crusing...
Tunnel vision - she hasn't crawled through the rainbow tunnel, but she thinks it is so funny. So any day now.
Waving and clapping! A beauty queen in the making? :) "Toddlers and Tiaras" here we come (Totally kidding)
Crawling!!! Here she goes...
Snow Angel!
Family photo on the kid's mountain (Dollar Mountain). She played in the nursery while Mama and Dada went out for half days skiing.
Not quite sure what this stuff is!
Warm in the lodge. We didn't dare take the snow suit off because then we'd have to put it back on! She didn't like putting on her snow gear, hats and especially mittens!
First bus ride! Before Adam arrived with his car we took the little shuttle to and fro... Lots of equipment for skiing and baby. We needed another pair of arms.
They don't call it Sun Valley for nothin'
Free at last! She loved the "shag" carpet in the condo so she could crawl all over the place. I think it's the horizontal stripes that really accent her rolls :)
Let's Go!
Sun Valley ice sculpture.
The weather shield kept her warm!
YAY!!! Home Sweet Home!
Victoria loves sorting the blocks - or putting the shapes in the wooden block. She's wearing her purple spandix shorts sewn up the middle to help strengthen her core and keep her legs together.
Victoria has some curls! Her hair is getting long and wild!
The curls come out after she's been sweating (like sleeping on Mama's lap in a cramped airplane with recycled air) Ah! You gotta love flying. It just keeps getting better and better.
