Walking

Keila is pretty much just walking now. She still crawls a tiny bit, usually if she is sitting down and wants to get somewhere. She doesn't do that very often though. I got her some shoes for Christmas and she loves them! She has been really fascinated with socks lately...tries to put them on all the time even if she already has something on her foot. So, I think that shoes must be even better to her. She has actually cried a few times the past couple days when I take them off for nap time. She laughed while Jared was home with her today though, it must have tickled. She got some really cool presents for Christmas and loves playing with them. I went and bought her a cabbage patch doll and doll stroller set (comes with crib and swing/car seat and a couple other things) with the money that Jareds parents sent, and she loves it! She was trying to get the doll out of the box as soon as I got home, so I opened it up. Then I got the stroller out of the box for her and she was pushing it around for a long time. Of course, I had to keep putting the doll in the stroller because she kept throwing it out, but she will get the hang of it, haha. She was getting a little nicer when I told her to love her baby, but then she would just kiss and hug the doll and then put it in the stroller and then take it out and throw it. I think she didn't like the doll being in there because she kept wanting to sit in the stroller herself. She seems so much older now that she is walking. It's as if crawling longer kept her a baby, even though it didn't.

She is also picking up on a lot more words. Last night she added Cheese to her vocab. She had said it before but in the food way...now she says cheese when smiling...for a picture or something. If we say it to her, she will say it a million times. It's cute.
