First Steps!!

So - Miss Penelope took her first steps last night! Grammy Gray said that she had seen her take a couple during the day, but of course I did not believe her until I got home. Finally at about 6:00pm we were on the floor, Daddy almost passed out from eating too much chicken at dinner and me feeling like a pregnant beached whale, and she did it! She stood up, did a little squat and wiggle, then took two steps toward us before falling and yelling "Ya!!!" and clapping her hands! We have gotten into the habit of clapping and cheering every time she falls so that it's a game :) So, I guess she is officially a 'big girl' now, even if I don't want her to be - but I guess it had to happen at some point. And by the time *child not yet announced* comes along, she will be cruising all over the place :) Lord help us~
