you gotta put one foot in front of the other!

Yesterday, March 26, 2010...exactly 7 days before her first birthday...Hadley took her FIRST steps!! I was so excited that I was there to witness it. Unfortunately, I was the only one home at the time, but Jeremy got to see later on. :) She's been really stable & balanced for a long time, and I honestly think she could have walked earlier...but with all of her ear issues & everything I think it's taken her longer. Yeah, yeah, I know what all of you out there are thinking. Most babies don't walk until after they turn one! BUT...you don't know My Hadley! She was crawling at 6 1/2 months & pulling up at 8 months. I seriously think that all of the fluid on her ears made her dizzy & her balance was off. Anyway, I guess we'll never really know one way or the other, and that is just fine with me! :)


The night of my monkey's first steps!



Look at all my teeth! I'm still drooling & teething like crazy!



I'm loving my books!




And, I had to throw this one in! This was at grandmommy's house a few weeks back! :)

Sounds like the birthday girl is feeling great now!! YAY Hadley for taking your first steps!! I cannot believe your baby is almost one. I remember reading your blog before she was born and showing Mom her sweet nursery pictures...and now she's walking!!!
LOTS of love to all of you!!
