Steps in the Right Direction

We have had a WONDERFUL holiday weekend!!! We spent Friday night and Saturday home hanging with each other. Then on Sunday we went to church. When we got home, Josh and I were sitting in the floor with Livi, and she started taking a few steps. So, we set up the video camera and tried to see if Livi was on her way to walking. Sure enough, she walked back and forth between Daddy and I several times...each time taking a few more steps. I think we've got a WALKER on our hands. Of course, we had to call Mel Mel and Mimi and Pop to tell them what our big girl had learned. Then Uncle Micah and Aunt Mary came over to see her new trick.

Mommy's sitting in the stairway helping Livi to get stable. And.....

She's Off!!! As you can see, we all had our hands ready for a crash landing, but she made it all the way to Uncle Micah's safety. The funny thing is....she has to be holding her magical wipe!!! I guess it gives her confidence...or balance.

Anyway, I cried - and screamed - when she took those precious first steps. Now everyone is saying, "Watch out. She'll be into everything." Obviously they don't know Livi...she's already in to everything.

Today we went to her first birthday party! It was for her boyfriend, Davis. She had a good time.

I'm also putting up her 9 month pics for you guys to see. Daddy did these while I was at church, and of course I fell in love with them when I got home. Hope you all have a great week!! Only 4 more days until the weekend....and only 6 more days until David's birthday party!! Can't wait to see you David!!!
