Brielle took her first steps today...

Actually she took a LOT of them. All of her young little life she has either rolled or crawled. Well today, she must have made up her mind to find a new mode of trasportation. We took her outside and she was walking with her holding my hands...I let her go and she kept on walking. She would take 3 or 4 steps and then fall. She would try to get up on her own then and I would help her. Well, she got to be a pro at this walking thing today because she can now take a lot of steps in a row and if she falls, she figured out how to get back up...

Renee and I were SO proud of our "Little Miss Magic" today! She is such an awesome little girl!

Here is a picture of her taking her first steps.

Such concentration and effort to balance. What a miracle when a child achieves these milestones. The photos are priceless...and one day she is going to love these photos of those sturdy little thighs!
