Next to my computer I have a sheet of paper with nearly a dozen scribbles. All of them are future blog posts. Add to that Lola's doctor checkup, her weekend birthday party, Jay's ponderings, getting lost on the way to the zoo, our first Spring bike ride with awesome pictures, and some new spiritual epiphanies and my one sheet of paper has turned into a collection of scribbled papers. This blog can not keep up with my chaos.
However. I need to stop the press for now.
Something happened.
Something REALLY happened.
Something so life altering happened to me on Sunday. My life, as I know it, will never be the same. On Sunday, Fifi became an official toddler.
Hear me weep?

OMG, She looks so happy to be free! What a wonderful big brother memory for Jay, to help his baby sister take her first steps.
Awesome!
Not only does fifi take her first steps but now I can look forward to OHMommy videos!
Ohhh! Soooo cute! I love those first wobbly toddles...like little Frankensteins!
Congrats!
YAY fifi! Ours just started walking too! And went off the bottle....my ovaries are crying....hard!
So exciting!!
The boy looks just like Jay....he sits and encourages the girl to walk to him...very sweet!
What a bittersweet day! I love the video.
Congrats to your baby! It's bittersweet, eh???
Hope you are having a good day!
That is the best! LOVE the video. On the bright side, two and three are the best ages ever; I absolutely love the way kids think at that age. You are in for more fun.
And yes, I realize that it's still tough to kiss the baby years goodbye, but look at it this way; some day, you'll be a grandma, and you can do it all over again :)
Awwww...so cute!! Way to go, Fifi!!
Oh so sweet! I love all of those little prepatory steps. So cute! Yeah Fifi!
Congratulations Fifi!
Way to go Sweetie Pie, now walk over and get your Mama some Kleenex.

yay fifi. boo for you, for having another climbing, running one. but also yay for you, cuz of all of the pride and stuff.
sorry, i'm way past tired and brain not work so good.
So great to capture those first steps on video! I know how sad it is to see the baby grow up :(
Yay Fifi!! What a cute toddler she is!
Guess what! Evie started walking (pretty much exclusively) on Saturday!! I'm not ready, that's for sure, but her Zombie shuffle sure makes me smile!!
Dude, you're FUCKED.
Yay!!! And go you for getting it on video! We managed to get Peanut's first steps on video but not BB's (I've more than made up for that with pictures of the little man).
Fifi's a doll and her big brother helping? I teared up a little.
SO adorable!!
I teared up too. Oh no. BUT. Oh YAY at the same time!
Awesome! My boy just started walking recently too! It's so exciting! Good job Fifi!
AWWW! I miss those days! I wish I could figure out how to post video clips on my blog...that's my mission for the day!
Oh, that is SUCH an exciting time!!!!! Way to go Fifi!!!
YAY Fifi! Way to go! At least she took her time, and gave you 13 months of babyhood!
XOXO
P.S. This week? Get together? Maybe?
Welcome to the descent into toddlerhood.
Do you know how I had recently reached mine with my little guy? He said "NOOOO!"
Emphatically.
I am so sorry for your loss. ;-)
How precious! I love how Jay is backing away to get her to take more steps. Wow, she's not a baby anymore - I may weep with you!
It's sad and exciting at the same time, isn't it??? That video was adorable!
OMG,way to go FIFI!!!
XOXO
Congratulations Fifi! Hugs to Mom!
Too Cute!!!! Life will never be the same!!!! :)
let the furniture scaling begin!
How sweet is she getting to her big brother?!
Love the first steps! She is just precious and so happy! You can really feel the love in your family from this tiny little clip. I love your family!
Awww YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can just tell how proud she is of herself! :)
Congrats to the wee one! What an accomplishment. How is the mommy holding up? They get big so quickly don't they?
Aww...they grow up WAY too fast, don't they!
Wow, watch out, Mom! Now she's going to be into everything!
Aw, so cute. Such a bittersweet milestone!
That is so sweet!
How fantastic! And to have recorded it too... definitely need more OHMommy videos.
Uh oh! Now she is more mobile! I look forward to hearing all the funny blog posts that will follow with this new development.
Congrats to Fifi!!
YAY for Fifi - she'll be walking in stilettos by next week!
didn't you tell her to stay a baby forever? sniff. sniff.
Ahhh, but the chaos is so classy.
What a beautiful precious moment, especially for her big brother who was such a part of it.
KEEP BELIEVING
OMG how exciting!!!! :)
Awww, she's so happy! What a sweet, supportive big brother she has, too!
Oh, this post melted my heart. I love how Jay reached out to grab her and she was so excited to get to him. Sibling love just shines through on that video.
Congratulations on being the Mommy of a brand-spankin new toddler.
Much love!
didn't think her smile could get any bigger than usual...i stand corrected!!
yay fifi. great memory.
oh friend!! how simply sweet that she is walking into the arms of her big brother!!
congrats!!
That is so awesome. What a big Step - litterally and figuratively.
Congrats.
Walking to big brother of course.
Bye bye baby!
My little one started walking last week too. Life will never be the same... Congrats to Fifi from my little walker!
Oh oh! Now you gotta watch CAREFULLY. She's gonna be into everything! Congrats on your new title, Fifi!
Wonderful - thank you for sharing your joy.
Yeah! Congratulations! Pass the tissues!
Congratulations little Fifi!!!
Let the bumps and bruises commence.
"This blog can not keep up with my chaos". I feel the exact same way! Too much chaos...so little time!
I completed my homework assignment Mrs. OHMommy. I am sorry it got turned in a little late!
So Cute!
I love toddlers. I love babies too, but there is something REALLY sweet about a small person toddling around we no apparent goal. they are so proud of their walking abilities and want to practice as much as they can.
Congrats! It will be awesome now to have a couple "on the run" so to speak.
Oh, that is just so adorable!
Go Fifi Go! :)
I love the video! Congrats!
Kimmy
And now? Now the blog shall die a slow death as Mommy is forever chasing the toddler... :)
WOW - so wonderful to have that on tape...your whole world changes now...running in EVERY direction!!!
My little one just started walking and I was not prepared for it at all...good luck!
Oh, Mommy!!! She's precious! WTG!!
I went to watch and it said the video was no longer available:( Anyway, congrats or my condolences...not sure which to send!
I must tell you that this weekend Kate named one of her baby dolls "Fifi" and I thought of you. I will be posting a photo of Fifi and her posse in a few days:)
May I add you to my inspriing people list on my blog?

Oh it worked this time!!!! So cute! I have almost the exact same video of Kate's first steps to her brother too. Awww isn't life grand!!!
so precious! =)
I'm laughing and crying along with you. First steps are so joyous and so sad all at the same time, aren't they?!
Yay for Fifi!!! What a sweetie!
Isn't that fantastic when the little ones take their first steps though? And what I think is equally fantastic or even amazing is how a couple months after that happens, you'll find parents saying they wish the child hadn't learned to walk cause they get into too much mischief that way and the same phenomenon applies to the first word and then comes the vocabulary, full blown, ya know. We grownups just can't be pleased, no matter what, sometimes now can we?
But overall, it is an event to be so happy and excited over all the same! Congrats to Fifi!
Awe, look at Fifi walk. That's too darling. Awe.... I love that video and the laughter is just amazing.
oh crongrats!!!!!
That was awesome! What a cute family and what a sweet big brother.
Yayyyyyyy FIFI !!! And her big brother to catch her fall ... so sweet!
My two were slow walkers, big talkers. 14 and 16 months.
I love your family, Ohmommy. You guys are great!
Oh that is wonderful! What memories. I remember mine taking first steps and that was soooo many years ago!
Thank you for this smile.
Over from David's - congrats on making post of the day - but I've been before and I'll be back again!
