walking or running

We have always said Piper will not walk she will run! She is not stable enough on her own just yet but she has figured out how to "walk" with the help of her push cart.

swimming

Aren't they soooo cute! We took Piper swimming with the neighbors and they had so much fun. We also took our new water proof camera and had to try it out so we thought we would share some pictures of the fun.

Yes, this is the same friend from before they are 9 days apart and seem quite smitten with each other:) Piper loves being tossed up in the air and loved it even more landing in the water, though she still does not like water on her face.

Mom and Dad got into the Christmas spirit UPS style. They got Piper this adorable outift complete with hat and socks. She also got a UPS delivery truck penny bank and we got a UPS monopoly. Just thought we would share with everyone, don't you just love those bright blue eyes!

911...

So we had Piper's first phone call last night. Yes she has talked on the phone before and loves playing with the phone. She is now 10 months old and trying to start walking. The last few weeks she has been pulling her self up in the crib and found the shelf in the living room with all the picture frames on it. She does not have any interest in crawling anymore as long as she has someones hands to hold onto.
So on to the story. Piper was sitting on my lap in the family room. As I said she loves the phone and wanted to push buttons. I made sure the key pad was locked and double checked that the numbers 9 and 1 were also locked. My friend had told me that when the key pad is locked those number do not lock in case of an emergency. No, those numbers were locked so she was able to push buttons. I have the LG shine which is a slider phone. I slide the phone closed and handed it to her. The next thing I see when I look down is 911 and ringing. I immediately canceled the call and prayed I had done it fast enough. No such luck! Seconds later my phone rings and it is 911 dispatch. They had received a hang up call from this number and wanted to make sure everything was okay. I explained the situation, told him my 10 month old daughter got a hold of the phone and managed to push some buttons. He understood and said no problem and make sure next time to lock the key pad. I told him the key pad had been locked and still she was able to call them. Okay no problem and the call ended. Then I look closer at my phone. I then see and understand how the phone call happened. When the phone is locked and closed there are still 2 buttons that can be pushed. One button (the left one) is to unlock the phone, the other button (right) says emergency. Oh shoot, when the phone is locked she only needs to push one button and the emergency dispatch in on the phone. Needless to say she has not touched out phones since. Wes has the same type of phone.
