She Walks
She cried with each step. Poor thing.
Oops! She falls...
She thinks about trying again...
She seems pretty pleased with herself, all in all.
All photos taken at this amazing spot. Will be going there often. More photos here. And when did her hair get so darned light? Not long after this shot I actually died my hair darker so that mine wouldn't be so much lighter than hers. Perhaps going blond is in my future. NOT. Oh, and that blue thing Tori's on? It's a see-saw. So cool.
Excellent! Would this be the wrong time to remind of the post you made about worrying about milestones? I think you were worried about her not rolling over and here she is taking her first step!
Life is about to get even more interesting in your world!

Could this be the reason for the restless nights? Wishing you all active days and slumber-filled nights.

Wow- big milestone! There's nothing so darling as my youngest nephew (18 months) running around. They get fast so quickly!

Wow! Congratulations Tori!

Strange but true fact, when kids are learning new skills (walking, talking, etc.) it tends to mess up their sleep patterns. I'm sure there is some scientific reason behind it that I'm not aware of!

omg who told her she was allowed to grow up? I thought I had put in an order that she stay a baby forever?

Her shoes are so cute! Where are they from?
Posted by: Abby | June 25, 2007 at 05:29 PM
Oh! What an achievement! I am sure she will like it more as she figures out just how nifty it is.
Way to go, Tori!

She is just precious. I love her shoes too. Where did you get them?
She is such a beautiful girl!

Yeah Tori! Oh, and a third on the shoes? What? Where?

OMG these are the cutest photos I've ever seen!

Wow Tori!
I may have to go to Philly just to go to that park. I was about to ask, where's that park? when I got to the bottom of your post.

I remember the first time my nephew walked, it is amazing to see how proud they are of themselves!
Congrats Tori! (and to the proud parents too!!)

Aha! Perhaps we also have an explanation for the recent sleep issues!
Beautiful to have it captured on film. And you look radiant!
Posted by: Julia | June 25, 2007 at 10:01 PM
Oh fun! Walking! Go Tori!
Posted by: Elise | June 25, 2007 at 10:17 PM
Wow, you've got a real little girl there, less baby, more toddler! How thrilling. It's been so wonderful to watch her grow up.
Posted by: Eva | June 25, 2007 at 10:47 PM
Times seems to be flying by. She's way past baby, she's a little girl. Congrats on the big steps!

Did you really capture her first steps on film?! Way to go Tori! Watch out Mom and Dad! ;)
Posted by: amy | June 26, 2007 at 01:15 AM
You got it on film?? How lucky is that?! Gosh she is just SO gorgeous. She looks exactly like both of you, if that makes an ounce of sense.
Boy is the fun about to begin! My DD took her first steps a year ago this Wednesday and she started running almost immediately. Although if I remember correctly, she slept even better once she could roam around at will...bonus!!
Congratulations...and btw, the pics of Hammer camping are also just darling =)

Yeah walking! and did you take her down that fabulous slide?
Posted by: SandyC | June 26, 2007 at 08:02 AM
OK, should of looked at the pics before I commented. Of course you took her on the slide...the look of near panic on Charlie's face is priceless.

Go Tori! What a great milestone! I personally love the color of your hair Cecily. And Tori just becomes more and more beautiful with every picture you guys take!
Posted by: jen | June 26, 2007 at 08:20 AM
PUSH HER DOWN!!! PUSH HER DOWN!!! once she starts walking it's ALL over. lol
Posted by: Melody | June 26, 2007 at 08:39 AM
Oh Man! I missed her first steps :( I knew we left too early! I am going to have to steal some of those photos!
It was such a fun day - we definately need to go back again with the whole crew.
