Cailin is WALKING!!

Well folks, she finally did it. Cailin is officially walking on her own today. It started with her letting go of furniture and simply taking a few steps this morning to full on walking across entire rooms tonight.

She started walking at Nana and Papa's house, and they were really excited! They were sad to miss her first steps while at Nanny and Grampy Brend's house over the weekend.

Of course, Cailin still wants help walking across the entire length of the house. While walking through the bathroom with me, she let go of my hand and made a dash for the tub but completely missed and hit her head on the edge of the tiles surrounding the tub on the way down. A nasty blue welt immediately began to form and she cried hard. It must have hurt, poor baby! The only way she calmed down was for Papa to take her outside and distract her while barbecuing dinner on the grill. She loves Papa.

After that, I didn't think she'd want to try walking again for a while, but she proved me wrong and started walking on her own in the living room. It's absolutely amazing when your sweet baby hits that milestone. Wow, walking! I can't believe it. This is definitely the start of a new era.
