So BUSY!

So last week I was standing up in the living room, playing with Dad and I sort of stumbled a little and put my foot out to keep myself from falling. I thought maybe I did something wrong because Dad's eyes got REALLY big and he got really quiet. Then, after a second he cheered for me and said, "Lily! You took your first step!" I clapped my hands and gave Dad a hug because he seemed so happy. I wanted to hug Mommy too but then I remember she was at a meeting. I think that scared Daddy because he called my Nana on the telephone and asked her what he should tell Mommy, but I don't know why he worried. Mommy was really happy when she got home.

So I've been working on this thing that the grown ups call "walking." I don't quite get what all the fuss is about. I mean, I can get where I need to go much faster when I'm crawling. I even beat my Dad sometimes when he's trying to chase me, he doesn't go very fast though! But like I said, I don't get this walking thing. All the grown ups want to do is see me do it now. I walk to Mommy and they cheer, "Yea Lily!" and "Look at you." I make them so excited I turned around walked back to Daddy-- I don't want to disappoint my audience you know.

Anyways, I thought you might enjoy this picture of me practicing this walking thing outside. I gotta go if I want Mommy to read me that "Peek-A-Boo" book again.

Kisses,

Lily
