Alexa has a favorite push toy that she uses to get around pretty well. (Thanks Emily and Dan!!) We would usually let her use it in the living rooms. However, yesterday, I was adventurous and let her use it upstairs (kitchen, hallway, master). I've never let her use it in the kitchen because of the tile floor and being afraid that would hurt pretty bad when she falls. Well, she's been moving so well with it and not falling much that I thought it would be a good time. Oh my! She had a blast! She did really really really well with. I took some pictures with my cell phone first but I can't figure out quickly how to get them to my computer to put online so maybe later. But the first picture, she was hiding behind a curtain, just standing against the glass door. It was pretty funny. Then she moved over to a chair that had my purse on it and started going through my purse. (Our chairs are tall so normally, she can't reach them when she's crawling). And the third picture I took, she was scooting down the hallway. I never touched her at all! I couldn't believe how awesome she was doing. She turns corners, moves the toy when she gets stuck, and can even turn herself around (which she did when Daddy came home as she was walking down the hallway. She turned a full circle so she would walk to Daddy).

Well then, I finally got out our camera and was able to get some more pictures. This first one is pretty funny (for now... as I'm sure the 20th time it happens, it won't be as funny). I'm not paying attention to her and then I see that she has pulled open the drawer with my towels in it and continued to pull them all out.

So innocent.

Ok, moving on... She did close the cabinet door and the drawer before she found her push toy and went cruising somewhere else.

Another stop... She just kept checking everything out. It was pretty awesome! We'll be taking that toy to the grandparents for the holidays. So be aware!!
