It's official! Kaylin took her very first steps yesterday. We knew it was a matter of days until she did it, but I didn't expect it to just happen...in the kitchen...while I rinsed peas. That's not how it happens on TV!
How do people ever catch their children's first steps on camera? You'd have to be on standby for days, just hovering over your baby with the video camera in your tired, shaking hand. Needless to say, we did not do that, so I have no picture or video for you. But it went something like this:
Kaylin: [stands, crouches, stands, crouches, stands with arms stretched wide]
Mommy: [puts peas down, approaches Kaylin with arms stretched wide]
Kaylin: [takes first steps into mommy's arms]
Mommy: "Bwaaaaaaaahhhh, you did it! You did it! Bwahhhhhhhhhhh!" [continues bawling for five minutes]
It was one of the most amazing moments of my life.

Way to go Kaylin!! There's no way to get that moment on tape - I sat with the digital camera on movie mode for a half hour the other day, but Kiera knows the sound of the camera so every time I turned it on she'd sit down! You just have to have a 'walking party' where everyone comes and forms a bit circle around her with food and drink while they wait to see her walk. Oh yeah, and you and Brian need to make sure you're stretched with your runners on ready to go!
