And there she goes...again
And There She Goes Again from Ali Edwards on Vimeo.
It's good times around here. Yes, indeed.
Can you guess one of my most favorite parts in this video?
She is almost 11 months old and getting closer and closer each day to that next big milestone. She is the happiest, most joy-filled, bright-eyed little girl. And so, so funny. She loves to eat and makes constant mmmmmmmmm noises bite after bite. She's especially interested in anything anyone else is eating and gets a little indignant when we deny her repeated requests to share. She's really a fearless eater (and yes, it's likely I am just a tad more sensitive to the whole food issue because of a certain almost-eight-year-old who also lives under this very same roof) and I love that about her.
Watching her personality emerge has been really good entertainment. The kind that warms your heart and makes you remember all that is good and wonderful in the world. We laugh and giggle and support and blow spit bubbles and redirect and snuggle and pinch cheeks and say "watch this" over and over again.
Totally loving and soaking up all your wonderful thoughts & one little word selections in the comments yesterday. I hope to have the rest of my December Daily pages to show you later today or tomorrow.
Feel free to keep posting your thoughts on your one little word. I will be compiling all the words early next week into one big list to share.
What a sweet family moment~thank you for sharing!

The tears just ran as I watched the video several times. Sooooooo sweet!! I love the way she reaches her hand out to Simon as he runs away! Thank you so much for sharing these very special moments!!
My word for 2010 is "WELLNESS"! I chose this after signing up for a BPS class "Wellness Journey" that begins this Thursday.

I loved hearing simon's voice and getting to see what a kind, empathetic soul he is. Cheering for his baby sister? It must make everything worth it. I also got a bit wistful and teary watching that, as my girl received that exact same toy as an early first birthday present. And we have the same videos of her amazement and pride as she took her first upright, forward steps. Thank you for sharing that moment with us.

How great is that?! I love that Simon is so excited for her - what a good big brother he is.
My girl just turned 1 on Dec. 22nd and then started walking on her own at home the very next day - now there's no stopping her. Up until then she had been only taking 4 or 5 steps on her own.
I have been giving thought to a word for 2010. This would be the first time I am doing this and I think CREATE would be the one for me. I have devoted the past year to taking care of everyone else and it's time to take care of me as well. When I create I feel so much better about things, so I need to focus on this.

It is amazing how fast she is growing up!! It seems like yesterday she was just born! But I guess I don't have to tell you that. I love that you are sharing her (& of course Simon) with us. Your kids are your best creation yet!!! LOL

So cute! I have an almost 9 month old..."Please stop growing!" I keep telling her! I love how Simon encourages everyone to cheer for her...how cute is that?!?! My 'baby' has three older siblings to cheer her along and it certainly is a joy!

There is no mama-blessing like a child who will eat anything...and I have to laugh about the mmmmmm comments...My 21-year old still loves All food (though he's tall and skinny) and actually claps when his food is placed before him. :)

Ali she is sooo gorgious, not that i need to tell you that. It is so awesome seeing Simon so happy with his little sister. I can't believe he is nearly 8.
My word for 2010 is Embrace - to embrace life to it's fullest, embrace who i am etc!
