Nana Visits

Nana is here visiting this weekend. We've had a great time so far! Friday night we just stayed in and ate lasagna and watched Darci entertain us with all her recent new tricks. She now stands as much as she can, and only gets down on the floor to move from one place to another, or sometimes to play with a toy. She needs support for standing but will use absolutely anything that's handy, whether its stable enough to hold her weight or not.

Saturday Nana watched her for a while when Daddy left to clean some fish and I had to be at work. Then we played all afternoon and evening. Today, Sunday, Nana and I took Darci out shopping. We went to KMart, Ross and Shopko, with a side trip to McDonald's for shopping fortification. Darci got several new adorable outfits in 12 month size, and a few footed jammies. We are not shopping in the baby section anymore, which was a little bittersweet for me. Now her size is in the toddler or little girl section. We tried several pairs of shoes on her, but her chubby feet weren't having it. We'll look again tomorrow.

Nana also got her a bunch of new toys, which I'm sure will all be featured in videos here eventually. She got her own "tv remote" and some other toys that light up and make noise, and some simple toys like textured balls. When we got them all out of the packages at home, Darci was really into them all and it was fun to watch her explore the new toys.
