Morgen's walking!

She's been taking a few steps to me or Matt off & on for a week or so now. That entailed me holding her & Matt standing a few feet in front of her, holding a binkie or something she wanted & she would take a few steps to us --- but today --- she walked, un-provoked from our kitchen table to an end table in the living room...about 10 steps! That gave her some confidence -- and after that, she took off all by herself a few times. We did manage to get a few pictures...of her standing, before walking & the opsie....Look how proud of herself she is...

Opsie....

 This girl is going to give us a run for our money!!! She already loves to climb. Matt asked me the other day if I have seen her try to climb the baby gate. I was in shock & tried to ignore what he was saying due to well --- fear! I came upstairs last week & there she was --- about 1/3 way up/over the baby gate at the top of the stairs that lead to the basement. Are you kidding me?? What am I going to do if she learns how to climb a baby gate? Do you stack another one top? Is that even safe? And leave a toilet seat open...it's all over. JaCee never so much as looked at an outlet or toilet! I often hear JaCee yelling mom --- get her out of here. And I go in the bathroom to find JaCee on the potty, trying to keep Morgen from putting her hands in the toilet. Gross --- I know!  

Here she is doing more damage...I was washing faces/brushing teeth...and this is what I found...she's cleared this drawer & was sooo happy climbing in it! I can only imagine what I'm in for as soon as she really starts walking all over.

 

 I got a picture of both kids smiling. For those of you that don't have small children, you have NO idea how hard this is...I showed Matt today when he got home & he congratulated me. I said no need for that. It was pure LUCK! I figure if I take ENOUGH pictures, at some point, one is going to turn out where they are both smiling!
