Here she goes!

First Steps!
Noella is starting to take independent steps.  My parents were visiting over the weekend (a very quick trip- they were in St Louis approximately 27 hours!).  They timed it right though, as they got to see her first steps.  This means that my mother even has pictures, so I can post one if she will send it to me. 
Noella decided to perform even without her audience, and did some walking for me this evening while we played. So apparently we have a walker at 9 1/2 months.  It is still amusing to me that with all of these milestones I was so excited for with Mariel and just waited desparately  for them... and now I am somehow surprised, a little dismayed (really?  you want to walk now?  can't you just be content to sit around?)  and certainly unprepared!
