Sydney took her first steps last Thursday. She walked two steps to Gabe when he held his hands out to her and she did it! I can't wait to have her walking so I won't have to carry her around anymore. I love when she wants to cuddle but having to hold onto her wherever we go so that she won't crawl all over the place and get dirty takes it toll on me sometimes and I just want to take a break. I know some of you are probably thinking, " Kids get dirty". Well I have managed to keep Sydney pretty darn clean most of the time and she has hardly ever been sick, with an exception to a couple weeks ago, so I will continue to keep her clean because I ain't changing her clothes 3-4 times a day and I'm not letting her run around in dirty clothes either. (Go me!) I can cheer for myself right?
Anyway, I bet she'll be full out walking by 14 months old. I have also been looking on Craigslist for a stroller, double stroller, or a jogger. I figured if we are going to buy another stroller we might as well get a double since we will need one in the future anyway. There are some good buys actually on Craigslist at the moment so maybe we'll find something we want.
Trying to figure out if we are going south or staying somewhere up here in northern California as you know is always on my mind. Once we find a place that we feel good about, either here or there, we will make a decision. I have been looking at places online and comparing prices, comparing ameneties, comparing crime rates, how close to the free way the place it, how long of a lease do we want, if there is a Trader Joe's near by (a must), the churches nearby, how long will it take for Gabe to get to work, can it work with still only have one car depending on where we live, will it be a good area for Sydney to be, would we consider staying there for a while or a short period of time, because I don't like moving and all the work that comes with packing up and unpacking... all that fun stuff. Lets just say we aren't really much closer to making a decision than we were a month ago, but since we will be in So Cal later this month, hopefully we can find some time to look at some places and make a decision then. Our lease here is up at the end of May/Beginning of June.
So we'll see what happens. We just need to keep searching and we will make our minds up when its the right time and place.

I was the same way with Logan too, trying to keep him clean all the time. Poor guy doesn't know what a good ol' play in the dirt adventure is like. But now that he can walk and dress/undress himself, baths are no problem :)
Oh my gosh! First steps already. She's growing up so fast. I can hardly believe it! :O But that's so awesome, she's such a sweetheart. Can't wait to see what other videos you'll post...there will be more...right?
