And She’s Off!

We got home from a wedding this evening to find that Jamayia has become even more adventurous.

She can walk. Independantly, as in on her own. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

We came inside our home, and Jono put her down, and she procedeed to walk across the room. Then, because neither of us could believe our eyes, she kept getting up and repeating this feat over and over and over. And laughing. It’s as though she was congratulating herself for achieveing this latest accomplishment. Then, Grandma & Grandpa decided to drop in, as they were in the area. Jamayia made sure to continue the show for them too. My dear mother, being the proud Grandma she is, made sure to call my sister when she got home to advise her of the latest milestone.

Congrats, my baby. Walking. Well, this is just another way for Mommy to keep in shape. I’m sure she’ll be up in everything now. But it’s alright–I’ll just have to stay one step ahead.

These Feet Were Made For Walking…

Yes, folks, we have a walker in our midst. For the past few weeks, she’s been walking along furniture, wobbling and bobbing as she goes. Then her little legs gradually got stronger and stronger. Everytime we’d try to hold her hands and get her to walk though, she’d just fall and prefer to crawl.

Well, this morning, she wanted off my lap while I was on the computer. So, I put her down, and she started stepping out while I was still holding her hands. So, I got up, and she kept putting one foot in front of the other…and another step, and another… Soon, we were across the room.

My baby’s growing up. I was so amazed and pleasantly stunned, that I had to tell someone. I called Daddy. I could just hear the smile in his voice. All he could say though was “It’s over now…it’s over now…it’s over now…”

Now to work on tightening the invisible leash…
