Up Up and Away!

Oh my Natalee. Can you know how proud we are of you? You've been taking a few steps here and there. Your first real steps were just over a week ago--in front of me, daddy and Lora Jean. Since then we've caught a couple when you were feeling really brave but towards the end of this week you've really gotten the hang of things. Your foot still turns in so you have lots of spills and tumbles but you're getting braver and trying more and more and most importantly you're proud of yourself! We love your big grin when you get to us and how you keep your arms up and your mouth open--as if they propel you forward. It's our joy to watch you take this leap into toddlerhood! Good job, baby girl. We love you!
