Her time to shine...

Katelyn is on the move.  Not just crawling anymore, but walking too!  She took one step a week ago for David and we were trying and trying to get her to go for it and show us some more.  She has been standing on her own for a while now and we've been waiting so patiently for this.

Sunday before my parents and Luke were about to head out Katelyn hadn't had enough of Papa and they started playing and passing a musical ball toy around.  Katelyn is very good at sharing and kept giving it to Papa. He got her up on her feet and 'sure enough' (as he would say) she started walking to him to share her toy!

We were all thrilled and Mom and Dad couldn't leave just yet.  Katelyn squeezed as much time as she could out of them loved it!

Here is a video of her first steps.  She has been walking quite a bit this week.  Most of the time she prefers to crawl but she likes the clapping and attention she gets when she walks so we are seeing it more and more.  (The audio is quiet, but it's not too crucial.  I hope you are okay with that :))



It is cute when she comes to uneven ground...like when she steps on a book, or when the carpet turns changes to the kitchen floor, or walking on grass.  She uses her toes to dig in for balance but she has had plenty of falls.  No bruises yet, but I am sure those will come soon enough!

She sure is fun and we love watching her when she is proud of herself and has that smile full of incoming teeth.
