Mode of Transportation

I don't know if I ever communicated this on the blog before, but Anna crawls like a little hunchback. It's pretty unique and very amusing to watch. I finally got around to videoing it yesterday for memory's sake.



I say for MEMORY'S sake, because soon it will be just that...a sweet, but distant memory. Because Anna started walking yesterday!! (well, to be honest, she took 3 independent steps two days ago, but yesterday there was no stopping her and she did it over and over again, which proved to me that it was not some happy balancing fluke). Josh has been out of town this week, so I ended up squealing and giggling and oohing and ahhing to him over the phone as she did it right there while we spoke. Josh hated missing it and begged me to take a video of it for him. So here we have it. I am so excited about this milestone!



It takes me back to Noah's first steps, which by the way I was home alone for as well now that I think about it - so I called my parents to come over quick and see the miracle. I say miracle because that boy was so behind on learning to walk I feared it was never coming. He was 16 months old! Anyway, he may have taken a while to finally walk, but within 30 minutes of his very first steps he was practically doing laps around the playroom. I remember it well because we have 6 videos of it from the 15 I took at the time.



Poor Anna, I had to be told to even make 1 video of some of her first solo steps. Forgive me, baby girl. :) But, believe me, too, when I say I am no less proud of your accomplishment. 11 months old and walking is a big deal to your daddy and me. Noah, too, for that matter. Yay for Anna! We love you, little bird.
