She is now taking a few steps on her own and will walk across the living room if we hold her hands. She is still mostly reliant on the much easier method of crawling faster than a speeding bullet. But it is only a matter of time. My elders have been telling me that it is silly for us youngins to be chompin' at the bit for our kids to finally start walking. I guess your life becomes "a living hell" one they start. Because with the walking, comes the running and the never sitting down again. The bonus, however, is that you lose weight because you are always on the go and have no time to eat. I can live with that. Although, a girl has got to keep her energy up. Rene recently wowed me with a tasting menu dinner ala Top Chef. How could I say no to that deliciousness?
Ya Casi
Lilly esta tomando sus primeros pasos sola y puede caminar de un lado al otro en la sala si la llevamos de la mano. Todavía depende de el método mas fácil que es gatear, lo hace mas rápido que una bala. Pero solo es cuestión de tiempo. Mis mayores me dicen que es ridículo que nosotros de jóvenes estemos tan ansiosos por que empiezan a caminar nuestros hijos. Me cuentan que la vida de uno se vuelve un infierno cuando al fin empiezan a caminar. Porque con poder caminar, viene poder correr, y nunca me podre volver a sentar por estar correteando detrás de la niña. Hay un ventaja, que uno rebaja mucho porque siempre andas corriendo y te queda tiempo de comer. En realidad, eso no me molestaría. Aunque de mujer, hay que mantener nuestros ánimos. Rene hace poco me hizo de sorpresa un menú de bocaditas inspirado por el programa en la tele Top Chef. ¿Como puedo negar algo tan delicioso?

Playing Pretty Pretty Princess
During my pregnancy I declared that I would make sure that Lilly was not socialized into thinking that because she was female, that she needed to love pink, wear bows in her hair and adore princesses. As you can see, despite my efforts, it's happened anyway. The princessification process has commenced. This little froofy number is the Disney version of "My First Princess Dress." If you have been to Disneyland in the last 5 or so years you have probably noticed the Princess Store (or maybe not, because normal people do not pay attention to things like that). It is where little girls go to select their first, lacy, satin, sequined organza extravaganza.They then pair it up with the matching tiara, jewelry and teeny high heels. It is a frenzy of shiny, plastic, fairly expensive girl junk. Sounds crazy right?Oh, but to see them go. I have witnessed the hysteriaand I am fairly certain that the grandmas will not be able to resist. Princess Belle, formally known as Lilly is definately in our future.I know this for sure because this little girl acted transformed when I put this dress on her. If she was able to walk, she would have been twirling. She started posing and snuggling and workin' that camera. To add to the girlyness, she came home from vacation with Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. An actual baby purse, not the book.
