Our little girl is one year old (and six days). It’s been a long, long time since I’ve written anything, and longer since I wrote about Breitlahn. She’s now been confirmed as an over achiever by her doctor. She started walking 2-3 weeks ago, and now prefers it to crawling. Not sure that I’ve even seen her crawl in the last couple days at all. She has been climbing anything she could for quite some time, and just recently figured out how to climb on the rocking chair in her room (not a small rocker, but a full-size one). Amanda moved it into the living room, so that B’s room would stay a safe haven where we don’t have to worry about her. I was reading the newspaper and eating supper, and I look up and she’s sitting on the rocker, backwards. She had her legs poking out the back side of the chair and was watching daddy through the rungs. Wasn’t quick enough with the camera to catch her like that, but I’ll probably post the couple I got to FB anyway.

up
I think our little one needs to slow down a little bit. She’s getting to be a bit of an overachiever. My wife got an email update from some baby site saying she should be trying to move around and crawl this month (hah, sure). She’s pulling herself up on things now like it was going out of style.

faster
The other day, Breitlahn started crawling, and she gets faster and faster every day. I caught her in the act today.

cruising
Five months later, and wow! We’ve hit a lot of milestones in the last couple months. First, Breitlahn was rolling over, and then she started scooting, and sitting up. Today, she officially started crawling and she keeps trying to pull herself up on things to stand. Amanda said she did it once, but I haven’t gotten to see that yet. She loves to stick out her tongue, and blow bubbles, and laugh. She’s gotten quite ticklish, although it seems the simplest things will make her giggle the most. She had her first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.
She started solids, and loves vegetables. Fruit is gross apparently. Breitlahn still eats it, but nothing compares to those delicious green beans and peas.
Those are just some of the highlights, you can visit the gallery to see all the new photos.

two
Breitlahn turned two months old this week, and a lot more has happened since she reached three weeks. She got to meet her other grandparents (on Amanda’s side), visited her first airport (and saw her first airplane), she visited her first national park (Theodore Roosevelt National Park), she rolled over (at one month, she’s a bit of an overachiever), she sucked her thumb, we dedicated her, she started outgrowing clothes, she reached ten pounds, and the list goes on.
She’s started to smile quite a bit, which is loads of fun to see, and she’s found her voice (not just for crying anymore). She got to see loads of bison (well, at least her papa did) at the park, and we even found some time to relax and see Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar at Makoshika.
