Steps

It was a big day at our house yesterday. Joel, Blythe and I were playing before Joel left for school. Joel had Blythe by the hands while she balanced on her feet facing me and he said "walk to mommy," and let go of her hands. So,

She walked to mommy!

Three whole steps!

I instantly became the proudest parent in the world. Joel and I started cheering and laughing and smothering her with kisses. I think we scared her. Ever since she did it we've tried to get her to do it again, but she just turns her body all limp. (Which is pretty funny to watch her do). I hope we didn't ruin it for her.

She hit a big milestone, but I think she's going to wait a bit longer to really walk on her own. I could be surprised though... that's how this year has been. I absolutely love being her mom!



Here is her 'I want to eat that' face. If you look close you can see her two teeth. It only took her 9 1/2 months to get them!
