She walks!

Well hello! We arrived safely home on Sunday evening and had a busy day planned for Monday. Our little friend Devin was out of school this week and could meet us at the zoo either Monday or Friday and since my handsome hubby might be off on Friday we opted for a playdate on Monday. SO, bright and sunny Monday morning we were off to the zoo... in Jacksonville. What did that mean? It meant a screamer back in the car after a 7 hour car ride on Sunday, but it was WELL WORTH IT!!! She only cried the first hour. LOL We got to see Anna and Devin and had a wonderful, relaxing time looking at the animals. Thank you Anna and Devin for meeting us. We are so glad to have you!

It was also a day of firsts for us. I have posted many pics and videos for you to see! She walked more than 3 steps... 6 to be exact... at a time, has started dancing consistently when she hears music and has turned into such a climber that she will climb and stand up on her chair to reach things. Watch out mom is right! She can get into EVERYTHING!

I am sooo incredibly thankful that God gave us a little girl. She is such a blessing and makes us laugh each day. It is so fun seeing the world through her little eyes. She got her first baby doll around Christmas and I have been rocking it and loving on it and kissing it and when we got home on Sunday night she started kissing it too. She will kiss it and give it back to me and I will kiss it and she will want it back and we just repeat until she is done and moving on to something else.

Also, I was so excited yesterday when she started walking because I was on the phone with daddy and after her third step I started counting. (She has been taking 2 or 3 steps for a couple weeks, but would get wobbly. :) Well, when I got to 6 he asked me what I was counting and when I told him her steps it was even more exciting because he was on his way home and got to see them for himself. She was so glad to show daddy her dancing and walking that we even got it on video for you. Yeah!

We had a great time in Birmingham at Christmas. Thank you to all of our family for always making us so welcome. I will post pics as soon as I get some. I have just a couple on my camera but am requesting that my sis-in-laws and bro-in-laws email me some because I didn't get any of me, daddy and little bit! Ugh! Anyways, will post those soon.

Love and miss you all!

Little Bit's first carousel ride. She didn't even need any help. She knew what to do. That was such a wonderful moment!

Practicing holding on before the ride started.
