She walked and walked and walked

My baby girl is walking. She took her first steps on her own, on Sunday, May 1st. We were in Relief Society, and she was getting a little vocal, so I took her out in the hall. Once she quieted down, we walked back in to the Relief Society room. I held out my hand, so that Sophie would walk to my mom and take her hand, but instead she let go of my hand and kept walking. I was so excited and surprised. I wanted to scream with excitement, but we were in the middle of the lesson. I looked at my mom and she smiled with excitement too. Unfortunately, because it happened during Relief Society Jon missed seeing his baby walk for the first time. When we got home, Sophie walked from Jon to me. The first couple of days, she would only walk from one person to another, but now she'll let go of the furniture and walk on her own. She amazes me with how quickly she learns new things. Once she tries something for the first time, it doesn't take long for her to become a pro.

She balances with her hands up in the air. I love it!

My big girl! Walking from Daddy to Grandma.
