Tiny glimpse

I've been lax in posting lately, but wanted to take a moment to share these two cuties and brag on the older one:

Fuzzy photo, but love the smile. ;)

 Bobbi has taken to walking on Grandma's treadmill when it's hot outside. First of all, it's in the cool basement, and secondly, it's a better workout for her than walking with me behind her outside!

It wasn't that long ago that she couldn't do the treadmill at all. She couldn't keep her legs in close enough alignment, and the right/weaker one would get stuck on the non-moving edge of the treadmill, causing obvious difficulties. As she got past that, she got to the point where she could walk for 45 seconds to a minute at the slowest speed before she would need to pause and rest. She would rack up a few minutes of walking that way.

And then came the day that she did a few short runs, and then powered out 6 minutes and 38 seconds!!! Absolutely blew me away.

Since then, that determined girl has pushed herself further and further until setting another record today, walking for just over 8 minutes, 30 seconds, resting for a bit, and then getting up and going for another full 10 minutes! I still don't know how she did it. But she did. And then collapsed onto the treadmill, laying on a back pillow from the couch, as is our habit.

Gloria, upon waking from her nap, thought it looked like a cozy place to hang out, and spent a half hour crawling around over her Bobbi until it was time to come up for supper.
