Here is a video of Haddyn and some of her first steps. She's getting better on her feet every day and getting more and more brave with her walking...she's growing up so fast!!! I love watching her learn and grow and I'm amazed how much she retains already. I know I'm prejudice, but she is so smart and I'm pretty sure the best thing EVER is teaching her new things and cheering at her every accomplishment--I'm already her biggest fan! It's too bad Scott is missing the day to day "stuff", but he gets to see what seems like huge leaps and bounds once a week.
Haddyn is suffering with her first ear infection and I'd have to say she is not the only one suffering through it, even though she is in pain and that takes presidence. She is doing much better now that she has some meds in her and yesterday was the first day she was back to being our little happy Haddyn we know and love in a week and a half, so we are very thankful for that.
Last night I taught her her first sign-"More". I didn't expect her to catch on, but as I was feeding her yogurt and saying and signing "more" yogurt and on the 5th or 6th bite she started signing her own little interpretation of "more". I was so excited I think I could have hugged and kissed her, but then she would have stopped eating. I'm such a sap!!! I guess it just comes with the territory!! : )
We were talking a total of 10 seconds maybe. I couldn't believe it--look how high her leg is!!! She was all about climbing in the tub right there and then! I kept waiting for her to lose her balance and she was totally in control of the situation. 
I said, "Hey you, what you doin???" and this is the look I got...
This was her last desperate moment of composure before meltdown. If I had to interpret her thoughts I'd guess they were saying, "Mom, stop taking dang pictures and let me get in the tub, PLEASE" : ) Always fun in the Moulton house with little Haddyn around!
Anyway, Scott starts on September 15th and will be living in Driggs with his parents while Haddyn and I stay in our apartment in Poky until December when I finish my last semester and then Haddyn and I will move up to Driggs/Victor area with Scott. It will be a long semester, but it will very worth it to have a degree!! (Not to mention the fact that our apartment will stay so clean all week--HA!)
Exhibit B: (This doesn't feel natural)
Exhibit C: (Look what I found!)
Adorable isn't it??? Yes, yes, it does provoke much laughter and although there will come a point we will need to discourage this behavior, we pretty much laugh at it right now. Guess she has no hope in not being a dork like both of her parents--Go Figure!! Poor thing, and to think she CHOSE us! : )
