Aerin's Grandpa came all the way from New York City to see her and we all had a lovely time. Aerin especially liked to hear Grandpa read her favorite books in his New York accent - she was riveted. Grandpa gave her ice cream and she really enjoyed it (not as much as every other baby I've ever seen, but she's not as into food as most babies).I finally feel comfortable reporting that Aerin can walk. Her longest sojourn to date is 15 steps without stopping or falling. She still crawls some, but she loves to walk. Aerin is a very self-aware child and knows when she should be proud of herself. She just beams when she makes it from one place to another. She stacked 6 blocks the other day and grinned from ear to ear.
We're finally cleared to go to story hour at the local library and I just can't wait. I think Aerin will be in high cotton because she loves books and she loves other kids. I'm trying to decide on the perfect outfit.

What a nice picture and ice cream from Grandpa. Lucky girl!
Yay for Aerin! Stacking six blocks at this age is AMAZING. Most babies are purely and firmly in the destructive phase-- they'll knock down and take out, but not put in or stack up, even if they can-- for at least another 9 months from where she is. :o Wow! And walking is always so fun. :D
