First steps, first cleaning, and a few other cute pics

It was a big day for the McCreary girls. Ava is taking steps! Nathan and I have been working with her for a few weeks now. She would take one or two steps back and forth between us but this evening she took about ten steps back and forth between us. She repeated that about 20 times.

Sophie had her first teeth cleaning this morning. She did great-she sat calmly and opened her mouth at least for the hygienist, not so much the dentist. The hygienist just counted her teeth, polished them, and tried to floss them. She got her picture put on the wall for being cavity free!




Ava is already learning from Sophie. The other day at lunch I noticed her putting her hands together and trying to sing the blessing like Sophie does.



Sophie passed down the Buccaneer cheerleader outfit to Ava for Tampa Bay's opening game last Sunday (too bad it didn't bring them any luck seeing as they lost!)


One proud Daddy. These girls are going learn early about football. I know more about football than I ever thought I would know (which still isn't much) since I met Nathan.
I have hit a milestone of my own this football season- the first one I haven't cried when the season started. I used to get depressed knowing that football will be on our T.V. all day Saturday and Sunday and Monday and now Thursday nights. Now with two little ones I'm too busy to care!

Congratulations to Ava Bay for taking her first steps by herself, ans Miss Sophie has such beautiful teeth. I'm very proud of them both!

She can walk! I am so glad...Looks as tho she has slimmed down some, too. Joan went to see MaryAnn recently. I think I sent you a picture. Also, Robert has called a few times lately. I really enjoy talking to him. He says it's in the 40's there. I will like that kind of weather when it gets here. I hope you enjoy the emails I forwarded to you. Tell Sophie I said "Hello" and to call me sometime. Love, Mother
