Walking Tall!

FINALLY! After months of holding onto fingers and furniture, not to mention the last month of taking a few steps unassisted here and there, we are officially walking! Usually, if we ask Izzy to walk to us (after she's already standing mind you) she drops to her knees and crawls to us. Then she started taking a couple of steps towards us until she realized we were watching and again hit her knees. Well, Saturday she took 3 whole steps to me, but we didn't get too excited b/c I didn't ask her to, and Clark wasn't looking. Then tonight I came home from work and the grocery store and she was standing at the edge of the couch. When she saw me she got excited and bent her knees to go to the floor and start crawling to me. Instead I said "walkie walkie to Mommy" and she stood back up and walked right to me!! Not only that, she had these little balls that go with her kitchen set, one in each hand! She couldn't have reached out and grabbed the couch or my hand if she wanted to and luckily Daddy was watching too! We are so proud! It may have taken her 14 months to do it, but she's been working on other things; her vocabulary is more diverse than any of the other babies around her age (most of which are older than she is). I just wish we knew when something big, like walking, talking, etc. was going to happen so we could have the camera ready! You almost want to have surveillance cameras going 24 hours a day! Hopefully, I can post a pic tomorrow. Anywho, I was just too excited to wait...I had to post it tonight!
