New Walk n' Ride toy!

Now that Erin is pulling up and cruising, we decided that she needed a push/ride on toy. So I headed to Target and got her the Playskool Busy Basics Step Start Walk N Ride toy. Todd put it together as soon as I got home and Erin spent some time "kicking the tires."


I guess she was also seeing what it tasted like. That's important to the quality of the ride.

It's so much fun to sit on it! Erin tried to make it move, but could only go backwards.

Then.....she noticed the spinning toy on the front and leaned over to get at it!

Okay, now she's done. Time to stretch!

Story time!

Erin really likes her Fisher Price story time chair, even though it isn't quite age appropriate yet. We have to watch her very closely with it, since it's a little tippy, and her balance is quite the best yet. (She can't stand yet, so leaning on something that's tippy = lots and lots of falls if we're not careful.)


She also hasn't quite gotten the concept that you're supposed to sit on the chair, not stand on it. We're always watching over, to make sure she doesn't slip off when she's wearing footed PJs.

Every once in a while, she'll even sit down and attempt to read the book!

But, then she goes right back to kneeling again. :)

The cutest outfit ever, from Old Navy

Old Navy is a very, very dangerous store for me. They have super cute baby clothes (and cute stuff for me, too, I guess). I never get out of there under $50. When I got a Friends and Family coupon, I couldn't help getting this outfit for Erin. I love, love, love it, and it's so cute on her. I thought it would be bigger on her than it is. She may outgrow it quickly. It seemed so big when we bought it at Christmas time, here she is, hamming it up for the camera. I just adore the hood.



Todd loved it so much he had a take a picture of her from behind.

After we were done with the hood, Erin decided it was time for some quality time with Mr. Banana. He's got all kinds of fun things to chew on.....important for any teething girl.

go Wolves!

Since Todd is a big Timberwolves fan, he bought Erin a Timberwolves outfit. I think she looks like a boy in it, but oh well. It's nice and warm, and it makes Todd happy to see her wear it. At least they're winning a few games now.

Visiting Aunt Molly

We went down to visit Aunt Molly and see her new house in Rochester. Erin wants her house warming gifts for herself.


Barry thinks Erin's activity table is a gift for him!


Erin doesn't seem to mind sharing.


Barry and Erin get a little closer! They really did seem to hit it off, and we heard later that Barry missed Erin when we left!

Going to daycare

Okay, Mom, I'm ready to go!

Now, where did we put those keys?

Now what can't you find Mom?
