Houston, we have a toddler!

For posterity's sake:

Cruising by the couch, she turned toward the ottoman and took off! Hands in the air! One step! Two steps!

Then she did it again. Three steps this time. Man, she was so so proud.

My baby girl. My BIG girl!

Boy is life about to change for you when she's more mobile! ;)

Congrats! It is just adorable to watch them, well, toddle about.

My toddler just turned into a climber. Um, yikes! ;-)

Aww!!! my baby just turned into a toddler too. She took her first steps last week. Isn't it just a big turning point in their lives. Sigh.....

Now the fun begins!! Next up: Climbing!!

Do we get pictures? Vicki's right...next she'll become a monkey!

How exciting!! It's funny though, you can't wait for the day they walk, and then you wish they would go back to crawling! It's so fun to watch them wobble around, and hilarious when they run, arms up in the air flailing around!! It gets scary from here though! Get out the bandaids and ice pack, here come the boo-boos!

Game on!

Posted by: Spinneret at February 28, 2009 09:02 AM

Oh, boy, laughing at the comment above mine: "Game on!" Truer words were never spoken. Have fun with the chasing! Heh.

Posted by: Norma at February 28, 2009 09:35 AM

Yay! How very fun!

Posted by: Tara at February 28, 2009 10:09 AM

woohoo! I love those first free steps-hands above their head. Toddling a bit wobbly.

NAIL EVERYTHING DOWN!

Posted by: Celaine at February 28, 2009 12:49 PM

Oh, I just love how proud they get when they take those first steps (or conquer whatever first it is). The fun it is beginning!!!

That is fantastic! My oldest walked for about a day, then discovered running. The problem was he couldn't corner and was always smacking into walls.

Posted by: KT at February 28, 2009 02:27 PM

All right! Way to go, girl!

Posted by: kelly at February 28, 2009 02:45 PM

Yay Meli!!! Way to go!!!
Raley may be a bit behind you on this one... we'll see, but I don't think she's in any rush.

"...and nothing was ever the same again..."

Enjoy! Every stage has its own charms, but I LOVE having a toddler. It's a blast.

Posted by: cari at February 28, 2009 04:25 PM

WooHoo! Pictures, please. Better yet, video!

Posted by: SallyA at February 28, 2009 04:33 PM

Congrats! The walking can happen so fast. My 15-month old loves the videos of Meli. She talks to Meli as if Meli is right here with her. It's so adorable!

Posted by: Evelyn at March 1, 2009 01:18 PM

And how much more exciting both her world and yours is going to become!

Posted by: janna at March 1, 2009 03:40 PM

Congratulations!!! Hooray for Meli.

It is thrilling and frightening how fast they grow up. Mine has been threatening to stand without holding on for a while. He has little tiny moments where he lets go. I know he'll be running soon, and I won't be able to keep up.

Posted by: Kim at March 2, 2009 01:08 PM

Congrats! she'll be running before you know it!
