She can walk!!

Ok I realize she might be just a touch slow, but that does not take away from my excitement today when Valerie took her FIRST STEPS EVER!! I knew she could do it because she can stand for a long time by herself and walk really good holding onto things, she just didn't dare to take those first steps by herself. I always would hold toys up in front of her and she would reach out her hand and try to get them, but still wouldn't walk forward. Well I learned today that I had her motivation all wrong. I held up my cell phone for her and she took 3 steps forward to get it! I was so excited I grabbed her and started jumping up and down and screaming, "You did it! You did it!" Then I called Brandon right away and I'm pretty sure I was still screaming when I told him that his baby girl took her first steps. Valerie was very proud of herself too she was smiling and laughing....that might have been because of all the screaming and jumping, but I will say it was because she was excited reach such a huge milestone. What an exciting day, I am very proud of my little munchkin!!
