We have a walker!

She did it. Mary Ellen took a few steps on her own tonight. We'd seen a few running steps over the past few weeks. You know, the kind that are taken between two pairs of open arms but aren't technically "walking."

Tonight, though, just after Grandma had gotten settled in for her visit, our little girl turned to go over to Brian and oh-so-casually let go of the coffee table and toddled on over to her Daddy.

Who knew it was just that easy?

Way to go, baby girl. We're very, very proud of you!

  1. Huzzah! She's probably been practicing in secret and waiting for Grandma to arrive before making a show of it :)

  2. How exciting that Mary Ellen took her first steps on her own! It's great that your mom was there for it too. It's a coincidence that I yesterday morning I was telling my friend that Mary Ellen should be walking soon:). She did this on the birthday of Mary, Our Blessed Mother:)
