Happy 2012

Happy New Year!
and Merry Christmas
and Happy Thanksgiving...
Er, it's been a while! November was a blur and then it was almost Christmas and, well, you know how that goes.

So, it's a new year, time to resolve to update Lena's blog regularly. Not daily, but hopefully with better regularity--once a week? We'll see. Here's the first post.

Lena is 9 1/2 months old now. She took her first steps on Christmas day with a walker toy. She's practicing daily and trying to stand on her own more. More on this to come.

Lena is eating finger foods and is very open to trying new things. She'll try anything. She likes Cheerios, clementines, avocado, yogurt melts, bread, and much more.

We had a quiet New Year's Eve. Lena is sleeping through the night and went to bed on time. 2011, the only year she's every known, is over. Welcome 2012. She'll be 1 year old in just a few months. It's going so fast.
