Walking!


We have big news. Hayden is walking!!! Yes she's taken a couple steps here and there. Yes she can stand, without support, and squat down, and stand back up, still without support. But she still hadn't done much walking.

However, after a weekend of walking around with Grammy's fingers, she must have finally built up enough courage and strength to take it to the next level - take the next step if you will!



After dinner, when she was in a super good mood, Jason and I decided to see if she'd walk between us. Sure enough, she did!! At least 4 feet, multiple steps, with her arms held up high for balance and with a BIG grin on her face as she toddled from one to the other.




It was AWESOME!!! She especially enjoyed diving, hands first, into our laps when she made it across. Below is a series to show her progression - not the best quality but you get the idea.

She still hasn't decided that walking is better than crawling, especially since she's been dealing with a new molar coming in up top, but she did walk and we are so proud!!! Here comes trouble!
