OMGosh...we HAVE a WALKER!!!

Miss Tay-Tay, at five days shy of 14 months, has officially taken her first steps....

Her first steps down the hallway, that is.....

Awwww...LOVE you, Baby Girl!! And, I am so proud of you and your first steps!!! You've taken your time and have definitely called all the shots. You are cruising around just about everywhere and tonight, by far, included the most steps (on your own!!!) The time is flying by and I know you'll be running and getting married before I know it. Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little bit on the married part, but, seriously, you are growing up quickly!!! Keep that confidence and know that you can always do anything you set your mind to. There's NOTHING that can hold you back!!!! I'm excited to see where those cute, chubby little legs of yours take you....

Love you bunches and bunches!!!

XXX's & OOO's

SO CLOSE....

to being a WALKER!!!

Miss Tay is about ten days over the 13 month mark and is soooo close to walking!!! She's standing up all on her own and has managed to tease us a bit with a few steps here and there, but still seems quite content with just crawling around. I know it's only a matter of weeks, but until then, she'll continue to keep us on our toes and hanging on with anticipation.....

 (I'm experiencing some technical difficulties as I upload the video of her standing. The only thing I can figure out is that it's too long of a video to upload. I'll try to capture a quicker version and get it up here ASAP....Thanks for your patience)

She's also discovered the zebra down in the playroom. Trey actually got the zebra for his first birthday and it's made its way down the line ever since. Ty would spin around and around on that thing like crazy. She'd get to going so fast, stop on a dime, and just look at us with a huge grin and a wobbly head. Her little eyes would still be going in circles and we'd all just laugh and laugh. She got the biggest kick out of entertaining us and we had the most fun being entertained by her. Tay's just about tall enough to start spinning herself, but, for now, she's super excited to just be jumping on it....

As you can see...she's quite the little ham for the cam....LOVE you Tay and keep up the great work!!! You'll be cruising around in no time. And, we will continue to have a blast watching you....it's the most fun!!!! We are proud of you, Peanut!!!

Love you Bunches and Bunches,

~Mommy

Almost there....

would be the TWO words that I could use to describe Tay's current "walking" progress. She's definitely following right in her big brother and sister's footsteps, literally, and is not walking yet. They both walked at exactly the 13 month mark and I think that's gong to also be the magic number for Miss Tay.

She loves "cruising" the furniture and has just recently started standing up from a sitting position. I've been trying to get it on video for the past couple of days, and today is about the closest I've come....she's a little stinker, that's for sure :)

Keep it up, Peanut.....it won't be long!!!
