Little Climber Afton


Afton's ascent (the sun made her head go goofy)


Afton just chill'n at the top


Wow, look at me go!


Man, that is high up!


Aah, yes! I finally made it several times, of course!

So I took Afton to the park today for playgroup. She had a blast. Her favorite thing was the slide. She spent a good 20 minutes ( which for Afton is a really long time) going up and down the slide, with my help on the down part. (I'm not quite ready for her to go down by herself. :0)
She really likes to climb everything, hooray for Joe! :) The other day we left a step ladder out and the first thing Afton does? You got it! She climbs up the stairs to the very top and just chills watching baby einstein. She definitely likes her heights.

So at Playgroup, I found out about this other park that has a couple of climbing walls. Joe was ecstatic, of course. So we naturally had to test it out. Afton had a lot of fun and is definitely a natural. We only had our cell so the video didn't turn out but the pics turned out ok.

Oh, Afton has learned to dance. She kind of bobs her head up and down and tries to bend her knees at the same time while listening to music she likes, which do include Dr. Horrible, Homestar Runner, and the music from Baby Einstein. I think she gets her moves from Joe. :)
We'll try and catch it on video.

I should point out that she can't route-find at all; she just looks up and goes that way. If it's too steep for her little legs, she just keeps trying until she gets upset.

Looks like Afton is really having fun! Noah loves the swings...we went to the park yesterday and he wouldn't get out of the swing until I had been pushing him for a half hour..wish we could go to the park together Tres!

GO Afton! And that's cool she's starting to dance. That's one "milestone" (is it a milestone??) that I look forward to with Aaron. I'm gonna teach my boy to dance all the cool, white-kid moves!
