And she's off . . . .


Just as she learns the word stop, Abby has also learned to

GO, GO, GO



And go she has!  She started taking a few steps last week with Daddy.  Then yesterday, after watching her walk across the kitchen on her own, I stood her against the sofa and told her, "Walk to Momma!"  And she did.  As she got closer to me, I started to back up; and she kept on walking across the living room and down the hall!  Now I find her bravely taking on larger distances and triumphantly smiling and bouncing up and down while yelling, "Yay, yay, yay!"

Of course this means that every time I clap for Abby, Isaac goes to her starting point and runs toward me as fast as he can and then reaches up with a huge smile on HIS face for HIS accomplishment.  I, of course, comply to his unspoken request and toss him up in the air and give him a huge hug while saying, "Yay, Isaac!" just as he saw me do with Abby.  So they both feel loved!

Yesterday Isaac actually walked up to Abby as she was walking down the hall and put his arms around her to give her a hug!  It caught her off guard, so she fell down, of course, but both were smiling and I wished, yet again, that I had a hidden camera on every wall, constantly taking pictures and recording all these special moments (while never picking up on the dirt or messes, of course!). ;-D
