September was such a fun and busy month for Rose. She spent quite a bit of time on the move- learning to walk and just getting out there discovering new things. She is blossoming into such a delightful toddler with a silly sense of humor and a love for playing and exploring. At about 8 and 1/2 months Rose took her first steps and hasn't looked back since. This opens up a whole new world for her and she just loves discovering and tasting everything at Rose Level. It is amazing seeing her develop at this point because her personality is starting to shine and she is growing up at such a rapid rate now. First walking, next talking! It really is true what they say, she is growing, fast!
We are doing our best taking one day at a time, trying to enjoy every moment while also recording as many of her baby milestones and day to day doings as possible. We have been doing well taking pictures as you will see below =) We hope you enjoy the blog!
