Anna is officially a toddler now! We were at the calling hours for my great grandmother, and she kept pulling up, walking five or six steps, plopping back down, crawling to the nearest thing or person she could pull up on, and repeating the sequence.
She charmed the pants off of everyone there, and added a bit of sunshine to an otherwise sad occasion. Carrie helped lighten things up as well, and took the entire open casket thing completely in stride. I’m not quite sure how she accepted it so easily, but I’m glad for it.
Back at my grandparents house, Carrie managed to convince nearly every single adult there to take her around the woods for walks and help her pick up acorns. And Anna spent the afternoon being danger baby – not only walking, but standing up in the middle of the room without pulling up on anything, and climbing up and down the porch stairs. Oh, my.
