breaking news!

just moments ago...I TOOK MY FIRST STEPS!

i've been taking single steps and falling for the past several days...

and dad was fretting that i'd be taking my first steps while he is away this weekend...

so mom plopped us down on the carpet just to see what would happen...

and i stood up, departed from mom, and...

right,

right,

left...

dad started laughing with glee...and you know what that does to me...

i started giggling too...and the more dad laughed, the more i did. i was still standing upright, just laughing away.

and of course mom was crying.

the giggles took priority over walking, as they do everything, so the big moment was over.

but mom and dad still seem to be reeling from it!!! don't worry, mom and dad, there will be many more steps to come!!! (you won't be able to keep up with me!)
