So lately Graem’s been standing up for 30 seconds at a time and using the Leapfrog baby walker. Of course when she does this she squeals at the top of her lungs! Well today, I told Grammy “You are going to learn to walk today.” Just feeling like today might be that special day… I put her about 2 feet away from me, made sure she had her balance and then begged her to come to me. The first two times were a bust and she plopped on her butt. But the magical number three was a success. She walked three steps to me and I caught her! Her face was so shocked that she had finally walked and she laughed when I caught her.

I was on the phone instantly to Margot and figured this might even necessitate getting her out of an important meeting. She was available and I told her the great news. We both couldn’t believe it.

Margot got off of work early (to finish our bathroom) and Graem walked some more for her. Graem was a little tired tonight after all her afternoon walking and only did a good stretch of walking twice for Margot.

I’m afraid my life has changed and our girl is finally….a toddler.

It’s gone by so quickly and again tonight we went through all of her clothes and put away all of her 6-12 month clothes. I can’t believe in two months Graem is going to be a year old.

It’s somewhat sad…how time flies.
