Playing with Della

Here are a few photos from the past couple of weeks with Della. Now that she is walking she is a busy girl!

Our new vacuum cleaner

Dutch has found the benefit of having a little sister, finally. She just so happens to "accidentally" drop food on the floor just to watch him snatch it up. He is always sure to be close by when Della eats as he is now fully aware it is not all going to make it into her mouth. She thinks it is hilarious.

Hello?

So Della is now catching on to "talking" on the phone. Any item that she has that is about the size of a phone, she'll hold to her ear and say "ello". It's so funny to watch, especially when our phone rings and before we pick it up, she'll bring her toy or just her hand to her ear to answer.
Also, it is official! Della is walking. She took 8 steps on her own today and does 3-4 pretty well. She is still much faster crawling so that seems to be her preferred mode of transportation but when she is brave, she steps out.
