First Steps

I have much to post for her 10-month birthday recap, but haven't had a chance. As proud parents though, Jarret and I couldn't wait to post this.



It started because Jarret was letting her practice standing by herself for a few seconds at a time. Instead of standing still, she decided to take a couple steps. So we grabbed the video camera, and had her go between us.

She was so giddy and proud of herself (if you can't tell in the video, she's beaming), as were we. A few minutes later though, emotional tears were rolling down my cheeks. I always thought that walking was such a major milestone that signaled the beginning of a child's transition from baby toward toddler-hood. Her first steps really hit me hard of how much she's growing up!
