It's official!

Well, it's official. Mikayla is now what I consider a "walker." I am a little different than a lot of people in what I consider a walker. While Mikayla has been taking several steps for months, she hasn't had the confidence to step away from her support on her own accord. Sure, if we set her in the middle of the room without support, she'd walk away until she came to a chair, toy, whatever, that could support her. But just Monday night she finally took the initiative to step away from the couch on her own. She hasn't looked back since. She will walk and walk and when she falls, she'll crawl to something, pull up, let go and walk away. *sigh* she's really no longer my baby, but a toddler. So while I go and cry into my pillow for the millionth time (just kidding) you all can enjoy a few videos from last night.

*Besides the wonderful content of the video, you will be bombarded with the noises of our house-Laurie Berkner on the stereo, Lilly playing Sesame Street on the computer, the dog, the dishwasher...ahhhh, gotta love home!

But look how walking just wears out the little darlin'! In both videos she lays her head down at the end! Plumb tuckered out!

Oh, that is so cute! Like she's not tiny enough now she's going to be running around burning more calories. She is such a cutie. I love the arms up in the air like a little monkey. She looks like she's about to stop and dance with them up.
