Fourth Of July 2011

Here are a few images I shot of Virginia right before we took off to the Stadium of Fire, which she loved. Great Grandma Cannon got Virginia and Audrey matching outfits for the festivities. I love the pink Converses.

She just loved Katherine's water jug and wouldn't put it down for about an hour. Wherever she went in the house, it went too. Since this was also about that time that she was truly walking by herself, she was stumbling all over the place caring such a heavy thing. I believe in the last picture she was actually grunting while caring it. Right before we went to Utah, in El Paso, she would walk all the time at our house without holding our fingers (note, for short periods of time she would walk by herself) but if we went anywhere she would want to hold them or she would crawl. The minute, and I am not exaggerating this, we got to Utah, she started walking by herself... without falling every 30 sec. It was so cute. She would also do what my Mom called "The John Travolta" When she would walk she would stick out her arms like a disco dance move to keep her balance and it happened every 3 to 4 sec. She has now stopped doing it.  It was so cute.

I love this child of mine!
