She Walks!

We officially have a little toddler in the house!  With just a couple of weeks to spare before her first birthday, our little Pipsqueak has started to walk on her own.  All of those weeks of tireless practice have paid off,  and she is so proud of herself!   This little girl has been working on her balance skills and trying to take steps as if she is in training for some big event.  She REALLY wanted to do this and  now she wanders through the house clapping her hands in glee ...

 notice the little clapping hands!

And for the first time, after checking out each room in the house of course, she spent about twenty minutes looking at a book.  I guess, now that we've got the walking down, there may be some time for more cerebral pursuits?!




Happy Monday!
