Little stinker

Tori is getting into everything. She LOVES her walker and has mastered turning corners, backing up, and positioning herself so she can play with anything that's within reach. The hand towel that used to stay on a bar below the kitchen sink was the first thing to go. Now, I will be cooking dinner and find her in the laundry room trying to get at the clothes baskets or I will be doing laundry and find her pulling on the blinds on the back door. She doesn't know the meaning of "no" yet so we just have to laugh and enjoy this phase. It won't be long now until she's getting into the kitchen cabinets and then nothing is safe.

Silly Girl

Here are a few pictures for the past week. Tori has started sticking her tongue out and wiggling her head back and forth when she gets excited. Its so funny to watch. She has been dragging these valentine's day balloons around for weeks... One is now floating around on our ceiling because she ripped off the string. :)

Sleepy baby

Tori constantly steals the remote from me. I have to switch it to DVD mode so she doesn't change all the settings on the TV. She also likes to steal the phone from me while I'm talking to people. I have lost count of how many times she's hung up on Brian, Oops!!

Pulling up

Tori is pulling herself up to stand! Time to move the crib mattress down! She is also sooooo close to crawling. She pulls herself onto her knees and looks like she's going to crawl but just rocks and gets frustrated. She hasn't quite figured out how to move forward yet. Brian has been crawling around the house trying to show her how its done :)

Some more dadadadada's

Tori playing with a Valentine's day balloon. She loves this thing! She just sits and tugs on the string and stares at the balloon for 10-15 minutes at a time.

Video Star

We got a new digital video camera a few weeks ago and we've been going crazy documenting every cute thing Tori does (which of course there's so many that we've taken tons of videos). Here are a few of the cute things she's been doing.

We got Tori a little walker and she's loving it. This video was taken her first day in it, when she figured out how to move forward. She can only reach with her tippy toes but if you push her a few feet back she walks to you with a huge smile and giggles. She's so proud of herself! Today (her second day) she has already learned how to buzz around all the tiled floors and to turn in it. This is her absolute favorite thing to do right now.

Dada!!!

Tori started saying dada yesterday in the grocery store! Now she strings them all together, dadadadadada. Brian couldn't be more excited. Yesterday was a big day, she also cut her third tooth and drank from a sippy cup for the first time.

Bubbles!!

One of Tori's new favorite things to do when on the floor is roll over to your shoes and try to untie them :) She thinks its so funny!

We're running out of indoor activities... Who knew a laundry basket could be so much fun? We're so ready for some warmer weather so Tori can play outside!

City Museum

We spent an afternoon at the City Museum in STL. The name is pretty deceiving because this place isn't like any museum you've ever been in! It's full of places to climb in and explore. Tori was worn out, she was asleep before we even left the parking lot.She napped on the way to her first chick-fil-a!! Yum yum!
