Caylen is Finally Walking... For Real!

So I waited a few days to write on this one, just to make sure that it 'stuck.'  On Friday, exactly 2 weeks after she initially began walking (i.e. taking more than 2 steps at a time), she was at home with Daddy while Mommy was at work. He brought her there and he put her down and BAM she started walking! Like 10 steps or so, not a stumble at all; like she had been doing it forever! She kept doing it, doing it, doing it, and I figured it would stick this time. I really hoped. Saturday morning, she kept walking, and kept progressing! She was getting up by herself, walking, and she would initiate walking by herself to get from one place to another! Sunday morning, she woke up and didn't want to walk, but I think it was the footed pajamas that got her off track there. Once I changed her clothes, she was walking. Now, she is still crawling a little; it seems to be her preferred form of transportation, but I think that she really is enjoying how much she gets praised for walking and she is doing it more and more every day! She does such a good job at it-- I guess she just acquired all the walking skills at once! She can walk fast, turn corners, she walks fine in shoes, and she barely stumbles! I am so proud of her! Although I knew she would walk sometime, the waiting was just so hard! I was so afraid that she was unable to walk for some reason, but she is just on her own time!
