Cora is Walking! :)


That little stinker was in our little back yard pool today that is about 3x5 ft inside of an 8x8 inch inflated border. She stood up in that water at one corner and just decided to walk to the other side 3 or so feet away! :) Up until this point she has only attempted up to 3 shaky steps before with me. She loves walking and holds your hand and leads you where she wants to go all the time. Before this she would never let go even though we knew she could do it, we had to wait patiently for her to figure it out. It payed off! After the slippery pool where she decided to take her first real steps, she walked on the grass (though was very distracted by trying to bend down to eat it - weirdo) then in the house as you see on the video, she was walking all over the place as if she's done it forever. :) We are tickled pink about this sweet baby getting her courage up to walk and going all the way. It must be all the hugs and kisses we give her that encouraged her. :) Mike was showering getting ready for his big U2 concert tonight, when all this was going on so when he got out, she showed him her trick and was so proud of herself she had an adorable, infectious, full dimpled giggle to show off to her daddy. It was so adorable. I'm sorry I didn't get a video of it cause I never want to forget these best moments.
Good job Cora Grace! Mommy, Daddy and Evan are so proud of your accomplishment and determination. We can't wait to see what you will do next. * hearts*
