I walked!

I gave Mama her birthday present - I took my first official steps today! Woo-hoo! Mama and Daddy were jumping up and down and clapping their handing, totally spazing out. (I wonder what they were so excited about - ?)

So, here's how it went down: I was standing, holding onto my rocking elephant and I decided it would be fun to jump on Mama. Without thinking about it I let go of the elephant and took two big, kind-of sturdy-looking steps to my mom. Then I fell over on her and giggled. It was great.

I walked lots more after that, back and forth to Mama and Daddy, from Mama to the couch (while Daddy recorded it), and from my playwall to my walker. Walking is fun, but my paws are still a bit big and I fall down a lot. I hit my head on the side of the couch and on the closet door upstairs. I may have a knot, a bruise for sure. Ah, battles scars of my first foray into walking. More stories to come, I am sure, but tomorrow I am off to a place called Gnawlins (something about music, beignets, and gold, purple and green beads...???) to spend Easter with my Granny and Grampa.
