Latest Accomplishments

Friday night I was sitting on the couch in our bonus room enjoying a quite night at home with Brent and Kaleigh. Kaleigh loves to stand and pat on the couch and look at me and giggle so imagine my surprise when she turns around, throws her hands in the air and takes off walking!!!! Granted it was only about 3 steps and not the most stable, but she wasn't lunging or being supported by anything. Of course, I screamed, Brent missed it and neither of us had a camera handy. She took an occassional step throughout the weekend and I am trying not to rush the whole walking thing. On Saturday she woke up in such a happy mood and about an hour and a half later she was the most unhappy child in the world. It was a few hours later before I discovered a very sharp "eye" tooth just about to come thru her gums. That explains the very unhappy baby. Despite the fact that she was feeling bad she spent the evening at a cookout at her Godparent's house to help them celebrate the Heavenly Birthday of their son Kyan. On Sunday we had her first professional portraits made and they turned out so pretty. It helps that the subject of the photos is so beautiful!!! Then this evening after having a rough morning with gums still hurting Kaleigh and I come home to spend an evening alone (daddy was at work) and while having dinner the child who has REFUSED to clap her hands......starts clapping her hands together!!!! She really is my child, you can't "make" either of us do anything you have to wait and let us just do it when we are ready!!! Of course daddy missed the first steps and the first time she claps her hands together. He got the first poopy diaper so I guess she feels like mommy needs some first of her own.
