The best I could get

Connor is walking all over the place at home. He is VERY cautious (just like big sister) and doesn't like to do it on command. He also only likes to walk to soft things like our couch or ottoman-smart cookie. In fact, if he's walking and realizes he doesn't have a good "landing pad" he'll just sit down on the spot.

That said, here is a very short video of him walking, it's the best I've been able to get so far. You can tell that he's pretty sturdy and does that cute baby arm scrunch thing while he's walking.

Hopefully we can get a better video soon. But we hope you enjoy this for now:)

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Gianna got took this book from Ooda and Poppy's house (with their permission) and it is one of her favorites. Lately she has been 'reading' it to us a lot. We finally caught it on video.

Here are the words so you can see how close she is (in case you aren't familiar with the text).

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

"In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf. One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and - pop! - out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar. He started to look for some food. On Monday he ate through one apple, but he was still hungry. On Tuesday he ate through 2 pears, but he was still hungry. On Wednesday he ate through 3 plums, but he was still hungry. On Thursday he at through 4 strawberries, but he was still hungry. On Friday he ate through 5 Oranges, but he was still hungry. On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. That night he had a stomachache! The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better. Now he wasn't hungry any more - and he wasn't a little caterpillar any more. He was a big fat caterpillar. He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks. Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and...he was a beautiful butterfly!"

Next: finally catching Connor walking on tape.

Oh and I'd just like to add that I'm very proud that she calls the cupcake a muffin :)
