Lots of new TRICKS and some TREATS too

This year was Miley's FIRST Halloween!! She went to Pam's house all decked out in orange and black with her spiffy Halloween shirt.

Then when I got off work she got all dressed up in her costume- a Pink Fluffy Wabbit is what it was called. Her girlfriends Peyton (a Fawn) and Sophie (a lamb) came over and we all headed down to the parade downtown.


We made it to a few houses to visit, we did the best we could with a 9.5 month old who only had about an hour and fifteen minutes total for naps that day. But she did really good when we were downtown. She held her own basket and when we made a pit stop at Nana and Bumpa's to eat some chicken nuggets she dove right into her basket. She would dump out the candy and then pick it all up and put it back in her basket! I was very happy to see her learn this new trick- now she can clean up her own toys! HAHA




SO-- the past three days have been quite exciting for us in our household... Miley has learned a few new amazing new tricks!!

First new trick: Independence
I was working in the kitchen and she was playing in the entry way of the kitchen and living room and then I heard her crawling thinking she just went to the living room and when I went to check she wasn't out there! Then I heard some noises down the hallway- she had crawled to her bedroom and pulled out the toys in there and was playing all by herself in her own room! It was just so fun to see her do that all on her own and not be scared! I had to snap some pictures of what she was doing in there.



Next new trick: Playing in the Fridge
My mom was over on Saturday morning and we were both getting stuff out of the fridge and when turned around to go in there again this is how we found Miley...

Then this morning Taylor was getting something out of the fridge and Miley wanted to check out the fridge again- so he let her and the little stinker pulled out a tupperware and pushed it right up against the door and stood on it like a step to better get in the fridge!! She is just getting too smart for us!


AND I Saved the BEST trick for last: DRUM ROLL PLEASE..... WALKING!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have any video or pictures yet but I will try to get some but on Saturday afternoon Miley took her offical first steps all by herself!!!! It was amazing!!! Me, Taylor and my Mom were all here to witness it! Taylor had set her down on the ground like he always does just to see if she would walk to me- it never has happened before normally she sits and crawls- but not on Saturday- she took 4 steps to get to me!! We were all VERY excited! We made her do it three more times! And now whenever she is in the mood we keep practicing so she doesn't forget how to do it and so she can keep getting better.
