valen is eleven months old!! wow!!! he is getting so big! it happens so gradually really, but then all of a sudden you find yourself going "oh my goodness, when did he get this big?" he had been wearing a couple different pairs of pants around the house all of the time and they were 0-3 months and 3-6 months. i hadnt even noticed that they were getting so small. my sister gave me some 12 months stuff and i put them on him and they fit! i had no idea. so i put the smaller stuff back on and thought how funny it was that i didnt notice how short in the legs and tight in the waist they were. anyways, he is in 12 months pants, but they are a bit short. both our kids are so petite, but that makes them extra snuggly that, just the way we like them! 

this little guy is so a full blown walker now! he walks everywhere. he can walk all the way down the hallway without falling down, but everytime i tried to film him, he didnt make it. it is so much fun to have him so mobile! when he first tried this walking thing he would have a couple bruises and bumps everyday and it made me nervous. but he got better and better so now he rarely gets boo boos at all, mostly when he gets excited or if dahlia has something to do with it.

we went to the park today and put them both in the stroller and they were both so calm and just enjoyed it. then we put valen in the snuggly and let dahlia play on the toys. it was very cute. we are so glad that summer is so close. weather in these parts have been so cold lately and we are so ready for the sunshine to warm us up!! both of our kids just love it outside, as do other kids, but it is so refreshing to be outdoors and really love being with them and seeing them grow and change. 

here is a video of valen walking and then a bit of dahlia and valen dancing.
