Videos of the Canteloupe Kid & Izzy's First Steps

Izzy took her first steps on Friday, July 23rd. This is her 3rd attempt at taking more steps just minutes after her actual first steps. We were SOOOOO extatic to see her little feet go on their own! She's growing so fast!

This was at dinner last night...we started off with some fruit and she decided that instead of eating, that she'd just balance some canteloupe on her head. Not sure if she learned it at daycare or what, but it was pretty funny!

1st trip to Minnehaha Falls

We had a blast yesterday visiting Minnehaha Falls for the first time with Izzy. There was a Norwegian Festival going on at the park, so we did some good people watching too. Izzy loved hiking on the trails and checking out the water - we had a great time.

Dave was pretty excited about the field trip too - you can see on his face here. :)

We just bought a cool Kelty hiking backpack (for SUPER cheap on Craigs List) to put Izzy in so we'll be doing many more trips to Minnehaha and wherever there's fun trails. If anyone knows of any, please post a comment and let us know!

Swimmin Like a Fishy!

A few quick pics and videos from our 4th of July weekend. We took Izzy to Gregory Park in Brainerd on the 4th and played on the swings/slides/ and in the trees. Here is Iz with her 'Ma' and 'Da' as she affectionately calls us.

I call this look her 'skeptic look'. We taught our little Peanutbutter to jump off the edge of the pool this past weekend. She wanted to do it again and again and again and again. This was towards the end - so she's a bit wiped out by this time, just wanting to splash and kick her legs, but she even closes her eyes, holds her breath, and goes underwater!

This is Iz doing her new funny face. This is on our way up north and I sent the video to my Mom - so you hear me reference 'wave to Lucy'!
