A Couple of Firsts

We have some more "firsts" to share.

What an eventful week we've had!!

Carson took his first steps yesterday July 26th...just shy of his 10 month "birthday." He's been standing alone and walking along the furniture really well these last couple weeks, then yesterday he let go of the couch and walked over to me. He can take about 3 steps before losing his balance. He did it like 4 times yesterday, but of course wouldn't perform for daddy when he got home from work. I have yet to catch it on video, but here is a picture of him standing on his own.

Avery said her first real word on Saturday July 24. She's been making lots of sounds and doing lots of babbling, most of it seeming to not be related to anything. Then Saturday she very clearly said, "Bye, bye," with the wave and everything. Then she started saying "bye, bye" in her growl voice, which we thought was just hilarious. The girl loves to growl!!
So proud of all their new accomplishments!! Now stop growing up so fast!!
