2 steps forward

Hailey took her first steps today!!!!! YEAH! I came to pick up Hailey after work at my parents house and sat down to talk to my dad for a few minutes. In the meantime Hailey was hanging onto the table in my dad's office and out of the corner of his eye he saw her take two steps, but we weren't sure if it was real. So my mom picks her up and she stands like a pro and I start calling for her and sure enough she took two steps toward me - then she didn't even fall just stood there looking at me!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! I have to admit I started crying because she has been so close to walking forever, but I just didn't expect it at that moment.
That of course is the major PT goal, but also it is a goal for her to stand up in the middle of the floor not holding anything and sure enough she did that tonight as well. We were at my friend Val's house and Hailey was playing with Wyatt when all of the sudden she just stands herself up in the middle of the floor!!!!
I think she is gaining confidence more and more. Soon there will be no stopping her. Daddy has been working 3-11pm so he wasn't able to see it. I can't wait for her to show off her new skill to daddy!

That is wonderful news! She sure is a cutie, and what darling outfits. Today is two steps, before you know it she'll be running in another month or so. They are growing up so quickly,
