Brooklyn is Walking!

I'd say her official first steps were on June 21st. Four steps, to be exact. My little over-achiever! Every day she is getting better and doing more. It's all about confidence! She cruises the furniture and lets go and stands all on her own really well. If I entice her with something she really wants (like my poor, drool-drenched phone!) then she will take a few steps on her own.

Hayden walked at 13 1/2 months, so Brooklyn not even 11 months old caught us a little by surprise. Coincidentally, Hayden walked right around Fourth of July weekend also, in 2008. I find that interesting that now Brooklyn is about the same place, the same week, 2 years later.

We tried to capture it on video last week without success. But finally today, I caught her in action (which is really hard to do on my own today while Phil is at work!). Check it out!

I love her shaking her head "No!" Too cute, and Hayden squealing, even better. Finally a couple of steps! Yay Brooklyn!!!

Can't help but smile watching those! I can't believe that she's SO early to walk...but I'm sure having a busy big brother to chase after helps keep her motivated! TOO CUTE!
