Merry Christmas!

Christmas for us start on the 20th with Zach's family (laura, peter, abbie, amy and steve). Laura picked up Bean early and babysat the whole day while Zach and I worked. Then when we got there we opened presents and Bean had a great time. I don't remember getting as many presents as the two girls made out with!

Pictures!



Zach and I finally found time to take Gillian to get her 1 year/ christmas pictures this morning. She did a great job and we got some great pictures. I forked the extra five dollars to have them online so I can post them. I ended up buying a lot which I am excited about. Me and Zach jumped in for one picture so I get another family one which is exciting. Other than that Gillian is doing great with the walking. She still prefers to crawl when she wants to get somewhere quickly, but Zach and I promote the walking as much as possible. She will stand on her own for long periods of time and will even get up in a sitting postion which to me is very exciting.

WE ARE WALKING!!!!

On Thankgiving Gillian took her first step (well it was actually four)!!! We thought it was a crazy flook, but it turns out she has finally learned that she can walk with no ones help. Within the last three days she went from a couple of steps to walking the leghten of her bedroom. Zach and I are THRILLED!!!! We are so excited. We sit on the floor with her and let her walk from one to the other for an hour. I am so proud of her! Here is a short clip I took on Sunday.

5 generations


We went to see Zach's great grandma on her birthday. Including Gillian and Abbie, there were five generations there which is amazing. We had cake and I met some of Zach's family that I have never met before. Me and Laura were good sports about the children being passed off : ) It was a pleasent visit and I was happy that I got some pictures taken.
