Alethia has been walking for almost a month now! She took her first steps on June 22, but refused to walk again until July 4th... for a cupcake! She has a sweet tooth :)
She is very independent most of the time. She plays in her room with her toys and talks to her stuffed animals. She loves to read! She climbs up in her rocking chair with a book and a stuffed friend and reads while rocking back and forth.
She learns something new every day. The other day, as I was cleaning the house, she decided that her bedroom door needed to be cleaned as well. She had a wash cloth in her hand and was wiping the door. And she helps me pick up her toys now too! She loves to redecorate too... during and after I clean the house. That's not so much fun for me, but I love watching her learn.
We have a bedtime routine that she seems to really love... dinner, bath time bubbles (we clean up the toys before we get out now too), brushing of the teeth (she has 5 now!) and clean up time! Then, sometimes we read a book, or play with a stuffed friend, or just chillax with the family. She always gives hugs and kisses goodnight to anyone that happens to be home - family, friends, and even her stuffed animals.
I love my little girl. Her hugs and kisses are so sweet <3
