Jeremy & Carri Mikkelsen

I was telling someone just today that Autumn reaches her milestones when we are out on trips. Every time this summer we’ve been gone she reached a new developmental level. She gained her first two upper teeth when we were gone in Indiana in June and then the next two in July on our camping trip. This summer she also learned how to drink from a straw since she did not want to drink form a bottle and couldn’t master a sippy cup. Autumn shows her independence by taking the cup when she wants a drink and pushes it away when she is “all done.” What an amazing feat.

This past weekend we went on another camping trip and Autumn kept her shoes on for the first time and also started standing on her own and then taking a few steps on a regular basis.

Saturday night Jeremy and I decided to take some footage of Autumn in hopes she would walk for the camera after many tries from her mother, we caught Autumn taking some of her first steps on video. Please enjoy them with us.
