FINALLY!!!!

I know everyone has told me to be patient. I know everyone has told me she will do it when she is ready. Well she has finally decided that she is ready!! Olivia started walking on her own on Sunday. She did it intermitently over the weekend, but really began taking off on Sunday. Each day she has gotten stronger and gained more confidence. Now she is practically walking all of the time unless she is unsure of a situation or she is being lazy. Whenever we see her being lazy, we pick her up off of her knees and tell her she knows how to walk and encourage her.

Today we took Olivia to a park to play in the beautiful sunshine we were experiencing. Chris took a lot of great pictures of Olivia that we wanted to share, but we also wanted to share the video of her walking with you. We are so proud of her!!

YEAH!!!! That is so exciting, and I love the video! You just wait until she and Kylah are chasing each other around the park, and running away from us :) The pictures Chris took are great too, she is adorable.

The photots of Olivia are beautiful. Chris did a great job. And hurray for walking. She looked like a pro. From pavement to grass - all the way past chris. She did great!
