Look What Happened Today!

I took the girls to Pump It Up for some playtime this morning, and look what happened!!!!




First steps recorded on video at 17 months! :)  For the longest time, if we tried to get Hadley to take a step to us or even help her walk by holding her hands, she would give us the meanest/most offended look and plop her bottom right down on the floor. But suddenly in the last week or two, she has been loving to walk holding our hands. She'll hold her hand out to us and say "walk" in her cute little voice/demanding yell (depending on how long it takes us to comply with her request, ha!) until we walk hand in hand with her. But she still gets mad if we try to encourage her to take unassisted steps. I think she was just distracted at Pump It Up today with all the kids, excitement, and music and didn't realize what she was doing. I had my hand stretched out to her in the video to get her to walk toward me, but she never actually grabs my hand...all the walking in the video is independent! I think it will still be a while before we have a full-blown walker on our hands since she doesn't have the desire to do it independently yet; but once she gets a little more confidence in her ability, I'm sure she'll be off & running in no time! We are so proud of you, Hadley Mae!!!!

As a little flashback, {HERE} is the post with Shelby's first steps!
