This thread is really tugging at my heart. All of your little ones are SO gorgeous.
We're expecting our little one (caucasian/AA) in August.
Hope to be able to show her off here soon.

wow she is soooo pretty!!
The one in the target cart is especially cute.
Can she walk yet?
I like the pupster too!! What a fluffy guy. He reminds me of a stuffed animal.

Thanks, Oceanica! She can walk holding onto things, but not on her own yet. I think she's mostly just afraid to try though! Is Athena walking yet?

Not yet... she can pull up/cruise or walk with somebody holding her hand, but she doesn't quite have the balance to do it alone. Her favorite thing is to stand at the coffee table and throw everything on the floor.
