Houston, we have a walker!

Over the past couple of days Ileigh has become more and more independent in her walking. I think we can officially say that she is walking now.
It is so much fun to see the differences between her and big brother. Eli just barreled toward everything; Ileigh is so cautious and carefully weighs her options. This might be an answer to prayer. :) Eli and his dare-devil stunts still prove to be very stressful for me.

Sweet girl...

Watching her big brother playing... 

Hearing mommy call her name... 

taking those first big steps to mommy... 

not quite making it...(do you know how hard it is to take a picture and catch a baby at the same time? Try it.) 

making eye contact with mommy to make sure she will be there to catch a falling baby... 

"Here I come"! 

"You are going to catch me, right"? 

Now, she is walking all over the house. We haven't had any major falls- most of the time she either regains her balance or gracefully plops to the floor on her bottom. She can also standup without holding on to anything. I am not sure if Eli ever really did that! Way to go, big girl!
