Finally, Gracie took her first steps this week! She is still very cautious, but she is already starting to become more confident with her walking. She will walk from John to me and vice versa or from the furniture to one of us. Gracie is definitely getting excited about her new-found independence. She pitched a fit for us to let her walk around Wal-Mart holding our hands instead of sitting in the cart. (The crazy thing is that after the joy of seeing her take her first steps wore off, I got really sad because she's growing up entirely too quickly. Seeing your children grow up seems so bittersweet sometimes.) Anyway, here is some footage of our (it's official) "toddler."
