He Walks! Sort of...

Liam is just starting to get the hang of walking. Connie worked with him last weekend, and got him walking several steps. He's probably done about 10 max, but of course, the camera's never around then. This is the best I could capture. He'll probably be sprinting in a few weeks.

A New Used House!

This was a short-sale and Emilia had a quick loan approval from Uncle Mike. Lucky interest rates are low and loan will be paid back plus some pumpkins. =)


We came across this house while going on a stroll through the neighborhood Seller's Faire. Emilia loved it right away. All I can say is that she's a determined little girl. It was hard to tear her away from the house while on-lookers were watching a futile-me trying to coerce her to leave. I did not have money on hand to purchase it either, but luck was on Emilia's side as Uncle Mike happened to be there and helped us out. Not only did we get a quick pre-approved loan, but also arrangements for transport of the house.


Long story short, I thought the dollhouse was a good deal, in decent shape, and partially furnished. Even came with a set of renters (mini-faux Barbie and Ken).

Imagine the endless ways one can rearrange and organize a 3-story house as fast and as many times with ease! It's a perfect organizer's palette! If only organizing our actual home were that easy...

.. Merry early Christmas present my little girl! =)

Here's a tour of the house and the elevator in action:


I was side tracked by observing how long her hair has grown!

All in the all, this turned out to be a good dollhouse. Emilia still likes it. It's been week since we got it, and in kid-time, that's a long time! Liam likes it as well. Though teaching them to "share" has been a bit more difficult.


Emilia happily poses for photos with her dollhouse. First-time homeowner delight! =)

Just Liam

Just Liam... after a long nap... waiting for dinner... and just chilling.
