Trip to Tucson and 2-steppin

Last weekend, we took a trip to Tucson to visit Aunt Jamie and Uncle Josh. On the way into town, we got to visit mommy's college friends Laura and her husband Andrew. Once we got to Jamie and Josh's house, we were greeted by Brenna's crazy cousin dog - Kata. Kata was VERY excited to meet Brenna and her level of excitement prevented Brenna from doing much independent moving on the floor but she still had fun and attempted to create messes with newspaper and anything else she could find. Uncle Josh had to work on Saturday, so we mostly hung out around the house (except for the excursion to Geuro Canelo's - one of daddy's favorite restaurants in Tucson - for lunch). When Uncle Josh was done working, we all went out to dinner where Brenna was entertaining to the people around us and got to try her first bite of ice cream - which she loved. On Sunday, we at breakfast out and then hit the road back home. On the way out of town, we stopped to see more of mommy's college friends - Becky and Randy and their daughter (and Brenna's blogging buddy) Felicity. The girls played a bit together and snacked a bit together. Then it was back home. On Monday night, Brenna was in a very playful mood and mommy and daddy took advantage and tried to practice some walking. She was successful at 2-stepping - taking a few steps at a time from mommy to daddy or vice versa. She was having such a good time and we were so proud of her! She definitely has the ability to stand on her own for longer periods of time now and she gets herself into that position more and more frequently. She had her share of falls and head dives, but as long as mommy and daddy were laughing, Brenna was happy too! You can probably tell that mommy gets a bit nervous when Brenna tries to take off on her own, but I love it! We are going to keep practicing and just know that any day now she will be walking all over the place!!
