walk the line

it's official...our girl is walking. it's so hard to say when exactly she went from 'taking steps' to 'walking", but she is definitely walking. she has been cruising and taking steps for some time now, but over the last week or so she started walking. today was the first day that when she would stumble, instead of just crawling she would stand back up and walk again. here are two short videos that we took this morning. these don't really do all of her hard work justice. she can walk across the room....tonight at joe's parents she walked from the dining room, across the kitchen and into the family room. it is so amazing to see her. WALKING. and i would have to say that unlike her somewhat slow crawling skills, her walking is pretty darn fast. i imagine that soon i won't be able to keep up with her. and i imagine that that is what she is thinking too......

on a side note, notice the drumsticks she is carrying. two in one hand, like always.
