Movies, first steps and more!

Gord and I went out on a bit of a date tonight - we went to see 'Reign Over Me' (with Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler). It was an amazing movie - very well-acted, painful, sorrowful, uplifting, and a million other things. We both would highly recommend it.

And onto other things...

Have I mentioned that we were being driven crazy by Ella's refusal to walk? She wanted to so so so badly, but refused to try. Well, under MUCH diress, on Friday, I got her to take 4 steps. She wailed the whole time. Whenever she wanted to walk around, I'd make her try it herself. She wailed some more. It really was a test of wills between her and I. I win though! She is taking more and more steps, and is very proud of herself when she does it. No more wailing. BIG sigh of relief. She'll be walking around on her own in no time now! Our baby girl...11 months old today...she's growing up so fast...

Speaking of babies...Chris and Sheri's hasn't arrived yet...we're on pins and needles, as the due date was last Wednesday. But you know first babies - they usually make you wait! Send all positive labor vibes Sheri's way please!

Oh, and Ben really enjoys being naked. He'll run around and yell, "NEKKID! NEKKID! NEKKID!" It's a hoot, alright. We have to make sure the blinds are closed...

6 more sleeps until our visit from K & G & R & F...and 2 more after that until Grandpa & Grandma from B.C. get here! Woo-hoo!
