Neva's 13th month

Transformation from baby to toddler seems quite complete as I reflect on all the changes that have taken place. Between May 27 and June 27, 2010, Neva has developed everything she needs to get up and walk all around. Exploring the house, any part she can reach on the horse or Diesel, taste the rocks, stomp the grass, up the stairs, around the vehicles, open-shut, pluck, poke, bang, throw... many more action words describe our days these days. Chomp is also something she is doing much more of lately as more teeth are making their way into her mouth that had just two for so long. She continues to love music and dances to anything including bagpipe music at the Scottish Highland Games; a very authentic experience on a gray wet Saturday.

Learning to walk

Neva should be walking all over by the time we get to see family next month!
Start baby-proofing!!

Kit did a road trip to Chicken and brought back a t-shirt for Neva.

Camping!

We went camping as a family for the first time Sunday night. It was so much fun, couldn't be better.

Neva's Birthday Day

A significant day, this day. Our baby girl is a treasure, our delight and wonder grow with her.

Vision

Carlos' mobile grill vision made much progress towards complete today. The actual grill is not yet on the trailer, but he is still working on into the daylight night.

Neva has learned that standing on tip-toe can increase her vision.

Summer

Couldn't ask for better summer weather to enjoy the out-of-doors.

Carlos made great progress on his food unit. Neva got to use her new sun hat and her new bike trailer!

Old and New

Carlos was able to bring my dad's '77 Suburban down from Tok today. The plan is to pull the mobile grill with it.

Meanwhile, Neva and I went to the Palmer Pool for her first ever swimming pool experience. For the first 15 minutes she just was wide-eyed and stiff, taking everything in. She gradually got more comfortable and started kicking her legs and making excited noises. This picture is as we were getting out. We had alot of fun in the shallow end! It will be a weekly activity this summer.

Birthday Party for Neva

We had a few of Neva's favorite people over Sunday to kick off the celebration of 1 year.
