We Have a Walker!!!!!

We are so excited to announce that Kiana has officially started walking on her own tonight! She took her first independent step about a month ago, and has been slowly increasing the number of steps she'll take at a time. Tonight when we were doing our usual nightly practice walking between mommy and daddy, or in other words tiring her out enough to go to bed, I said to Grant, "I wish she would just let go on her own." Two seconds later I stood her next to the ottoman and she just instantly let go and walked to daddy! Afterwards, Grant started chasing Kiana around the coffee table. After about the third time around the table Kiana was so excited she just let go and walked across the room to get to me. We were all so shocked and proud of her we just started laughing. Now we know we are in real trouble, because for the rest of the night every time stood her next to the couch or table and walked away we'd turn around to find her walking right behind us! We just got to Hawaii yesterday, and she was so excited about putting her feet in the sand today! She must have known that she better learn to walk if she's she's going to be able to run on the beach! Here's a video of her following mommy around the room!

I have lots of birthday pictures still to put up, so check back soon!
