And the race is on . . .

Our little baby has taken her first steps all on her own!! Yep, she is a walker now!! Based on previous posts, you know that she was taking a couple of steps, well last week she took more than 2 steps on various occasions and just starting taking off from any point that she could. The next few days at daycare she perfected her ability to get up from the floor without using anything to pull herself up and now we are chasing after her all over the place! She loves that she can walk and frequently giggles so much when she's walking that she ends up falling down. She still walks a bit like a drunken sailor, but her walk is getting better everyday - I wish I could post video so you could see. I also wish I could post a picture of her in walking mode, but unfortunately, we left our camera (that contained walking pictures) in Show Low during our visit there last week. I'll post some as soon as I get the pictures. Anyway, this picture of her under her highchair is all we have for now. We got to see both sets of grandparents and spend some time showing off Brenna's walking moves. It was so nice to get into some cooler weather and we even enjoyed a meal outside during a rain shower! We also got to visit with Jacy's family (even her grandparents and some extended family) while we were there. The kids ran through a sprinkler and got to play with toy groceries. Brenna is also now making kissing noises when we ask her to "kiss" - it is so cute. She is babbling and pointing a lot, so maybe a first word will happen soon.
