Step By Step

July 15, 2008 at 5:30 p.m., Evelyn took her first independent steps! We were in the kitchen and she had cruised her way over to the laundry room door. As I turned around from the sink, I watched as she turned herself around and took two independent steps towards the kitchen chair! I could hardly believe my eyes! Mommy rushed over to her and praised her beyond all belief. Then, I scooped her up and ran outside to where Daddy was mowing the yard to share the good news. This was a moment we have long waited for as she has only been willing to walk as long as someone was holding her hand. Let the independent toddling begin!
