Bruiser Burnsler

Stella is walking! For the last two weeks, Brian and I have been a bit busier than normal, chasing after our toddling Scout. About two days before she turned ten months, Stella decided to let go of the walls and couch and go for it alone. She's hilariously determined and is already starting to zoom faster and faster. (She sort of walks sideways when she really picks up speed.) Unfortunately - and inevitably - she's already taken some wicked tumbles and is covered in bruises. But, in true Stella style, she seems completely unfazed by such roadblocks. (Mind you, we're a fretful wreck.) From the beginning, we knew we had an independent mover and a shaker on our hands, but we had no idea how fun it would all be to watch her explore so vigorously.
