We're walking...

Very few parents are not shocked and amazed at their children's first steps. We are no exception. Samantha has been threatening to walk over the past few weeks with a few steps here and there. Over the last few days, though, she has been doing increasingly more on her own and is actually seemingly prefering to walk as opposed to crawling or scooting along on her bottom. This is shocking and scaring the heck out of us. We're constantly trying to make sure she is not falling or at least that we are close-by when she does. We finally remembered to take out the camera and get a little bit on film.
Samantha is 16 months and really starting to enjoy her world. She mimics books and uses a few words here and there. She is very opinionated and not afraid to tell you if she is unhappy or would rather do something another way. She is a little angel.
