Those first steps....

Jessi started walking!! She has been walking against the furniture for a good couple of weeks. She climbs onto our bed, couches and into the walking ring without any assistance and has been doing that for a while also. Just so you know, she hates walking in the walking ring. She used it as a walker and pushes her brother around in it. He is 11 months older than her and just sits in the walking ring with his little legs pulled up and lets her push him all over the house. Two weeks ago, she gave her first tentative steps and after falling down, decided to wait before giving it another go. I coaxed her into walking inbetween myself and her dad for small distances and have increased it little by little every day. She has now realized that she doesn't need mommy or daddy to catch her to be able to walk. She is walking the whole length of our passage which is as long as our lounge and three bedrooms going down to the end of the passage. She thinks it is extremely funny and laughs her very corny little laugh when she gets to the end of the passage. I so wish to film it, but I don't have a camera to do it with. I think I am going out this afternoon to upgrade my cellphone to a camera phone. That would enable me to take some awesome shots and short videos. Then again the prospect of dealing with a service provider on a Friday afternoon is not a good prospect.
