Vera pulled herself up and stood last night for the first time! Here’s a little animated gif to prove it:
And I know it looks like Tad was helping her up, but he wasn’t!
Don’t you love our green shag carpet?

It’s so fun to watch her exploring!
She’s full of smiles and giggles too.
I’ve been trying to take better pictures using my camera Tad bought me for my birthday last year. It’s a Nikon D3000, and I’m learning how to shoot not on “auto”!
I took these pictures the other morning in our office when the light was good.
These pictures are all straight out of camera.
camera: Nikon d3000
aperture: f/1.8
shutter speed: 1/160
ISO: 800
focal length: 35mm
no flash
