She’s walking!
My birthday present to myself was to relax and consciously enjoy my baby.
  
 
Her birthday present to me was to start walking.  Not her first steps; she’d already taken those, but walking across the room.
  
 
  
 
In a couple of hours I watched her default setting switch from crawling to walking.
  
 
  
 
Even when her legs got tired, she preferred holding my finger to being on her hands and knees.
  
 
It was a precious afternoon.  I’m so excited for her and for all the new adventures that she will now undertake on foot around our house.  She’ll be running soon, but I hope it’s a very long time before I lose moments like this:
  
 
Sigh.  Love this girl.
