Dear Libby,
You're walking now, sweet girl! You'd been taking upt to about 10 steps for about a month or so, but you finally really "got it" on Liam's birthday, and the long weekend that followed. We ended up being stuck at home for a very long weekend, due to my work being closed for two days. I will forever be thankful that I had that time off so that I could witness you learning to walk. I love watching your wide-legged, wobbly little self lurch across the room. And you're SO proud of yourself when you make it where you want to go. Your face lights up and you screech at the top of your lungs.
You got your first pair of real shoes this weekend. You're wearing them at daycare today. You just stood there in them when we tried them this weekend... but didn't really walk. You stood there and looked at your feet, and it was like they were glued to the floor. Hopefully you started walking around in them at school! You have to get used to them, now that you're actually walking! They are pink Stride Rite Mary Janes... and they are totally adorable. Just like you.
I love you!
Mommy
