I will readily admit I am so happy that Tash is walking! (I'm sure I'll be eating these words in a couple of weeks) I know I should not feel this way, but every baby in our play group has been walking for at least 2 months, so I was starting to feel like Tash might never walk! One other baby who was born the same day as Tash just started walking 2 weeks ago, so that stressed me even more. Amazing what stresses us out eh? I know each baby does things in their own time, but I was starting to feel like I'd be carrying her around forever. ha!

Every Tuesday our baby group has a play date. We alternate homes (in the summer we go to the park or zoo) so it's not stuck on one mom to clean up each time. As luck would have it, today was my day to host the playdate. Not only that, O was "working" from home today so when she started to walk I ran and got him, so we both got to share the moment.

At first she was just taking 3 or 4 steps between myself and L, but then she walked from me, across the play room to J. It was so exciting! I really can't express how sweet it is to see her walk. We all cheered and clapped, which she thought was hillarious and starting to giggle and laugh!  She seems so little, yet there she is putting one foot in front of the other and walking. She has far from mastered it, the walk across the room was her longest stretch, after that is was a lot of standing and a few steps, then crawling, but I'm sure in a week or two she'll have it down and I'll be chasing her all over the place.

She's down for a nap (a late one!) but I'm going to try and video her walking. :0)  Is it bad that I want to go wake her up to see her walk again?  It's just so sweet!  Gives me warm fuzzies!
