Our little troublemaker

Annie is making great strides in learning things that may land her in the hospital with a broken arm or leg. Our little 9-month-old seems to be destined for great things. Or injury.

While we were Skyping with Jake's sisters:

Annie was so proud of herself for climbing up on the chair. The picture is out of focus, but you get the idea.

Annie can also climb up on Rachel's bed if the little stool is close enough to the bed. She goes straight to the headboard, holds on and starts dancing. Now she just needs to learn how to get down without going head-first.
Annie's lid-opening skills are problematic. I thought all the cans within her reach were unopened, but apparently I missed one.

Messy kid.

And last week Annie took her first steps. For the first few days she would only walk to Rachel. Now she's getting braver and can take up to 6 steps at a time and will set off on her own sometimes without any encouragement.



It's all downhill from here...
