Dinah is trying to walk!

Dinah is growing so fast! She has been able to pull herself up and stand for about a month now and in the last two days she is getting brave and taking steps. She can walk well with her push airplane toy (see youtube video) but she still isn't confident enough to walk without it.

We have not updated our blog for a long time because we have been busy with work and school. Otherwise, we are all doing fine and enjoying this time in our lives. Dinah and Richie give us something to laugh about almost everyday. It is especially fun to see them interact. They are already starting to tease each other and Dinah loves to beat her big brother up. She is not afraid of him or anything and he is for the most part quite gentle with her. However, Dinah gives Richie no mercy.

I know we shouldn't have laughed about it, but we had a funny experience at church a couple of weeks ago. Richie was actually sitting reverently and paying attention (a miracle in and of itself!) when Dinah, who was sitting up a little higher on my lap, looked down with this mischievous smile and whacked him in the head a couple times! Richie was like, "Hey! No Dinah! Don't do dat!" The rest of church went smoothly but that incident was probably a sign of things to come!
