Diana Walks!

-

She did it!  She knew she could do it and then she did it!
After a fun evening of hanging out with Grandma Phillips, Aunt Liz, and me watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, Diana took her first free standing steps!  She saw Grandma across the party room, knew she wanted to go to Grandma, and then took steps (laterally!) to get to her!  Diana and Grandma Phillips have a special connection and just adore being with each other.  One time Diana went from full tantrum to immediate giggles just by having Grandma walk into the room.  She loves her Grandma P.  It was the cutest first steps ever and so exciting!  Diana did this amazing feat (feet) of personal locomotion on Friday, November 10th at 7:40PM, 2 weeks before her 1st birthday.  Yea, Diana!!!

Diana is also developing a love of reading.  She loves to sit on my lap and read a few board books together every day.  She enjoys the snuggles, looking at the pictures, and exploring the mechanics of how books work.  I love every precious second of our book time together.  I'm the luckiest mama ever with all of my wonderful children.  I am truly blessed.

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
