My Girl

The Stand

She can’t pull herself up to a standing position yet but she can hold herself semi-steadily if I give her something to hold onto. It kind of reminds me how I was never able to do a chin-up on my own, but during fitness testing in high school gym class I could do the arm hang, at chin level, with arms quivering in exertion, for about eight seconds before my sweaty plams slipped from the bar and I collapsed in a heap on the mats below.

Man, I hated PE.

  • YOU AND ME BOTH! Lucky for me I have a “bad knee” and was exempted from PE.

    That halter top is too cute. Thanks for the visit today!

    :)

  • cute! And chin-ups are killer. I could never do them, either.

  • Love the little hair swirl. Avelyn is such a cutie pie! I don’t know many folks who liked P.E. I know I certainly didn’t. Good thing it’s over and exercise is now optional.

  • I’m digging the ‘do. Avelyn can’t stand, but her hair sure can!

  • How. CUTE. is. SHE??? SOOO CUTE! great photo amanda :) PE needs a serious overhaul… hopefully before our kids get to school.

  • I was never very good at Phys-Ed either. And I just DREADED track and field. What is the point of High Jump anyways?

    I could throw the shot put about 2 feet.

    Avelyn is as cute as ever!

  • Ahhh – so cute. I love watching her grow. My little girl (also my first) is almost exactly 2 months younger then Avelyn. It’s amazing to see Avelyn reach milestones and then Maggie gets there, like clockwork, two months later.

  • SO cute; love her workout gear! ;)

  • If it makes you feel any better, most women can’t do a chin-up. However, my guess is that you’ll never be suspended from a branch in the wilderness with a chin-upstanding between you and survival, so I wouldn’t worry.

    I trained specifically do to a chin-up (I’m weird) a few years back, and I did *one.* Woo.

  • Oh! Sooooooooo cute!
