Just recently, Kate has begun walking. She could walk easily for the last several months, but always with mom or dad's help right beside her. Developmentally, she has been able to do it but she has been scared to venture out walking without mom or dad right next to her. Everyone told us that all of a sudden, one day, she would just figure out how to walk on her own. Well, they were right. About ten days ago, Greg and I were sitting in the living room, and she was walking the few feet between us on the floor. After several attempts, she seemed willing to keep practicing walking, so we slowly started to move across the room so that she would have to walk further between us. Suddenly, I was down the hallway and Greg was over by our fireplace. She was having so much fun running between us that she didn't even notice that walking is a bit scary for a little girl. Since then, she has been on the move and hasn't looked back. Thankfully, I don't have to hold her fingers anymore. I was getting a little uncomfortable bending down and walking all over with her considering how hot it has been, the fact that I am 6' 2", and I'm also over six months pregnant!

And the running after her begins!
