Walking

Elena took a few steps today!!! I was so excited! She has been walking along the walls and furniture for a while now and sometimes we try to get her to take a few steps as we sit on the floor and sort of pass her to each other, I think she thinks it is fun and I also think it builds her confidence as we cheer for her when she walks across. Today though she was sitting on the last step in our family room and she was sort of bouncing on it and kind of leaning forward (she thought it was so funny). I was sitting next to her and Todd was across from her when she began to stand with her arms out in front of her and then proceded to walk, she took about 4 steps until she finally just sat down. I was in shock and trying so hard not to make any noise so that I wouldn't frighten her or cause her to lose her concentration. When she was done I gave her a big hug and a kiss and I began to clap and told her she did a good job. Afterwards she was so happy and hyper she then tried to just stand up from the floor but she was having a hard time. I think she was getting ahead of herself because she just wanted to do it again. Soon enough she will be walking along!
