baby steps

While Annie and I were snacking the usual afternoon snack, Bek asked if we'd be game for a walk, which of course we were, because the afternoon walk is as much a part of our usual day as the afternoon snack, but today Bek's request caused unexpected confusion when Annie thought she'd get to walk on the walk, which she doesn't do yet - she rides in the stroller. At eleven steps between sidewalk lines, Annie isn't ready to stroll down the block. Bek proposed to Annie that "we'll go for a 'ride', and Daddy will take you outside when we're home." This would also give Bek a chance to finish up dinner. So that's the background for these pics. A sweet, sweet time with me and the Bear.

Teaching Annie the (in)famous "Melton shimmy."
