And there she goes...again
Tags:And There She Goes Again from Ali Edwards on Vimeo.
It's good times around here. Yes, indeed.
Can you guess one of my most favorite parts in this video?
She is almost 11 months old and getting closer and closer each day to that next big milestone. She is the happiest, most joy-filled, bright-eyed little girl. And so, so funny. She loves to eat and makes constant mmmmmmmmm noises bite after bite. She's especially interested in anything anyone else is eating and gets a little indignant when we deny her repeated requests to share. She's really a fearless eater (and yes, it's likely I am just a tad more sensitive to the whole food issue because of a certain almost-eight-year-old who also lives under this very same roof) and I love that about her.
Watching her personality emerge has been really good entertainment. The kind that warms your heart and makes you remember all that is good and wonderful in the world. We laugh and giggle and support and blow spit bubbles and redirect and snuggle and pinch cheeks and say "watch this" over and over again.
Totally loving and soaking up all your wonderful thoughts & one little word selections in the comments yesterday. I hope to have the rest of my December Daily pages to show you later today or tomorrow.
Feel free to keep posting your thoughts on your one little word. I will be compiling all the words early next week into one big list to share.

Seems like a good word for your family is Discover! There's going to be a lot more to discover over the next year for all 4 of you!

go Anna! Although you are making me a tad jealous - you are one of several babies way younger than mine who are walking and mine wont even stand up!! Keep being happy for your special sister Simon

HI Ali and family! that was so adorable! Ana has grown so beutifully - and fast. Thank you for sharing us a video with I'm sure Dad in the background. She has a beautiful smile like her family and the story you told us about her growing, reminds me of someone dear to me. Thanks again and all the best this coming year. I am still debating about the little word and thought of "walk" as I was enjoying the brief sunshine this morning- all for wellness and good feeling.

THANK YOU so much for sharing that!!!! That made me giggle so much, and it reminded me of my kiddos doing the same thing when they were little.

This video brings a smile to my face and memories of my own sons over 30 years ago learning to walk. Thanks for the joy!
My one word for 2010 is GRATITUDE. I hope to show more of it and have less complaints and grumbling and whining!

I was editing website photos of my son's latest triathlon - when your email came in... Anna's first steps brought tears to this father's eyes - and I've watched it twice... It seems like yesterday that HE took HIS first steps - and he now runs 10km in under 30 minutes! Enjoy it you two - it goes so fast...
Season's Greetings from DownUnder.

I am thinking about fulfilled or fulfillment. Not sure which tense/form to use. Though I am still not sure if I will choose a word, but if I did, that is the one that is mulling around in my mind.

The video is priceless. I appreciate you sharing it with us. My word is Optimism. My concentration will be ME, but an Optimistic Me. Maybe that is why I continue to be single-I must be optimistic and believe in my optimism. Im optimistic that one day in one year I will be one of your delightful winners. Happy New Year.
