To help mark 10 months Neal got his third tooth and started to walk - not walk on his own but with the help of his little walker/wagon he can get around quite well. He looks so much older when he is "walking". It is funny to watch him concentrate on walking and then look up with excitement to get our approval of his accomplishment. I am sure he will soon be walking on his own.
Though we already have our little tree up we are going to go up to Palmer for the annual Gates family tree trek and participate (without getting a tree). You can't have a tree trek without coffee, family and of course Christmas cookies. Aunt Katy came over yesterday and we had a day of baking some of our most favorite treats to share with everyone at the tree trek. We had so much fun and Neal was so excited to wake up from his morning nap and find Aunt Katy in the house. We made Crescent Dainties, Mint Brownies and Creamy Peanut Butter Delights.
Neal mostly wanted to hang out in the kitchen with Katy and I the whole afternoon. I guess he knew exactly what we were baking and wanted to be as close to the goodness as possible. He did get to taste test some of the icing for us and helped me with the dishes later that afternoon.
Now I sure hope we can refrain from eating all those delicious treats until the tree trek this weekend.
