Sabine’s been having some new fun around here recently. Last week we went to the park at Greenlake and played on some new toys.
Then today Sabine and Kuja got to enjoy her new table…just for her (and Kuja!)

Walking
April 5th, 2010Well the Bine has been walking for a couple of weeks now. She is also getting great at going up and DOWN stairs. She’s also getting adept at climbing onto coffee tables, couches, and pretty good at getting off of them too, with the occasional mishap.
Here’s a more recent video of her walking.
Sabine Courtney Steudel turns 1
April 2nd, 2010Happy birthday Sabine. Looks like you (we’ve) come a long way. From being a blob of baby to a walking, talking, eating, laughing, hiking/biking/fishing, 27 inch monster.
Biking with Nanya and Popop
April 1st, 2010Nanya and Popop (aka mom and dad) were in town a few weekends ago and it coincided with Popop’s birthday. We decided to spend the day biking as a family. As it happened, they had given Sabine a cool new bike seat for her birthday which we had installed and ready for that day. The five of us headed down to West Seattle and rode along Alki Beach. Its a great location as there’s lots to see, a nice bike trail, and plenty of lunch options. We choose the class Spuds for lunch. All of us enjoyed the day, but especially Popop!
Peek-A-Boo
March 30th, 2010Great video of the Bine playing Peek-A-Boo without anything to hide behind. We also think she must be getting acting classes from someone, that initial flourish is awfully cute.
Mailbox Peak
March 9th, 2010
Last weekend Courtney and Arthur were in town for a visit. They’ve been stuck in flat Michigan for too long (their words, not mine) and so I knew they wanted to go hiking and see some beautiful views. Given their complaints about the flatness of Michigan, I thought taking them to the heights of the Cascades would be a good idea…which lead us to Mailbox Peak. Although I’ve wanted to do it for awhile, we’d never made it there. I knew it was going to be a butt kicker but since Saturday was a gloriously sunny day, I thought the views would be worth it.
Unfortunately Mark wasn’t feeling 100% still, so only Kuja, Sabine, Courtney and Arthur and I went. Butt kicker it was….4,100 vertical feet in 3 miles. Thankfully Mark and I have either snowshoed or hiked almost every weekend since the new year, so amazingly I made it all the way to the top with the Bine on my back. Thankfully Arthur took her on the way back down. At the top we could see Mt. Rainier, Seattle, the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Baker and pretty anything else around since we were above it all.
It was a great day and all worth it despite the fact that we’re still having trouble going up and down stairs normally.

Sabine
February 12th, 2010Well Sabine has been “cruising” a lot lately around chairs and and it will be any day where she starts to take more than a couple steps. She’s really turning into such a little jokester and it seems like it’s just every 15 minutes or so till she either tries to get you to laugh, or she starts laughing at something. Anyway just a few pictures from today.
A visit from Alec
February 7th, 2010My good friend Alec arrived last week for a visit. We haven’t gotten to see him since the summer of 2006. With our time in Kenya and his time in French Guiana, its been hard to find a time to be in the same place. Despite this, Alec and the Bine have become fast friends.
