Her first steps!

Today we hit a milestone that I wasn't sure was ever going to happen! Okay, I knew it was going to happen, but I've kinda gotten used to her butt scoot. My baby girl took her first steps!!!! We were at a play date and I was chatting with a friend. Delanah was standing unsupported (as she has been doing more and more over the past week) and she saw my friends daughter with something she was interested in, and took 2 steps! I was in shock, stopped talking and Taryn and I looked at each other and she had a huge grin on her face. I had a witness! A minute or so later she did it again! After that she figure out what I was doing and decided that giggling and falling onto her bum was more fun :)

I wanted to shout it from the roof tops! I love my friends even more after today, I told them what happened and they were almost as excited as I was! It's so awesome having such supportive friends to share in your joy :) I now have predictions from 2 people that within 2 weeks Delanah will be running...we'll have to see!

I tried calling Dave at work, no answer, I tried calling G-ma, no answer, then I discovered that Teague had called a bit earlier...lucky he was the first family member to hear the news! Dave was excited but disappointed. Excited that it had happened, disappointed that he had missed it. When he got home tonight I made sure Delanah was primed and ready and we settled in for some baby-pong. She took more steps! I think the most she took was 4-5 towards me from Dave. We were using my water (she loves drinking from my cup) and an animal cracker as bribes :) All was fun until she realized she was our entertainment for the evening and she decided to bum scoot some more. I don't think Bailey is as excited as everyone else. She laid down and was watching the walking with a look of concern on her face...here comes more fun!

My baby girl is learning to walk! How awesome is she?!
