Olivia's Walking!

Ever since she took her first few steps on Thanksgiving Day, Olivia has been standing up for long periods of time and taking three or four steps at a time. We took this video on Sunday. We like to call it "Walkin' Around the Christmas Tree."


This morning while I was cleaning up in our kitchen, I noticed Olivia passing behind me. At first I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but then it hit me that she was walking behind me. She walked right out of the kitchen and into the living room like it was an everyday thing. She hasn't stopped walking since. During her bath tonight, Daniel kept telling Olivia that she couldn't walk in the bathtub, followed by some not very happy sounds from Olivia. She is no longer a little baby. I think we have the beginnings of a toddler in our home, even if she is only 16 1/2 pounds. :) And we are so excited!

When you fall down, just get up and keep walkin. That's what my Mom ALWAYS says.
