Walk this way...

Saturday, February 13, 2010
The past few days have been filled with true excitement for Jeremiah and me. Olivia has started taking steps!! On Sunday, Olivia stood up and took one step. She took the step and then dove to me. Usually, that is what she does. She will stand up and dive to one of us. On Wednesday, I was sitting down on the ground and stood Olivia up. This was the one time I wasn't trying to get her to walk to me. She looked at me, smiled, took TWO steps, and then dove to me. I've been trying to get her to repeat this for Jeremiah. He had only seen her take one step until last night. Last night, Jeremiah and I were sitting on the ground with her when she took two more steps. We started clapping and she had a huge smile on her face. Right after we stopped clapping, Olivia sat down and started clapping/smiling. She was proud of herself too.:)
Now, we understand that it may take a couple of weeks or even months for her to begin walking. However, we are just thrilled that she has started taking steps! I wonder if I will be as excited when she starts walking and getting into my drawers?:)

Wow! I remember how excited you were when Caden took his first steps, and I'm sure you are even MORE excited about Olivia's first steps (hard to believe though, because you were pretty excited for Caden!). Yay for Olivia!
