my first post

So this is my first post on my new blog. Mostly I felt I had to start blogging because my friends all have blogs. They talk about their lives, their kids, their jobs, their fun... and I just can't stand being left out. Someday I will figure out how to link to their blogs, so you can see all the fun they're having for yourself.

Today is actually a good day to start blogging. Lila started walking in the past few days... today she took 12 steps at Nana's house. I tried to get video of some very early steps yesterday-- but I didn't realize that whatever way you have the camera pointed is how it shows up on YouTube. I will try to link it here so you know what the heck I'm talking about. Here's the stinking link to the YouTube video:

So, note to self, turn the camera the right way-- post it on YouTube, try to figure out how to embed stuff in this blog. This could be a long, slow process. It might be fun for you to watch me try to master this fun stuff on that there internet. Or not.

I will play around with this some more and see if I can create anything cool. Otherwise, I'll be thinking of something brilliant to write in my next post.
