At the tender age of 9.5 mos, Marlowe took his first steps at FAO Schwarz in NYC a few weeks ago. He's gradually been building confidence. I took this little clip about 5 days ago, and he's even more confident since then. Just yesterday he was walking all over the driveway chasing after Ellis. He's hilarious!

It's so funny how he and Ellis are different. One day when E was 15mos, he just stood up and walked and never crawled again. It was his first time standing and walking independently. Marlowe has been more gradual about the whole process. And he knows he's a big boy, too!

Today I turn 31.

I made a new shirt to commemorate the occasion, using the same Summer Blouse pattern from weekend sewing, but I changed the neckline. The necklace that I made a few years ago goes perfectly! I'm so glad, because I've always liked the necklace, but never had anything that was quite right with it.

Chris has the car today and it's raining, so it's kind of a subdued day. But E will be home early to start his spring break, and that will be fun.

I have a no-cooking policy on my birthday, so I got frozen waffles for hubby to make breakfast. We'll see about later.
