Lucy's First Steps

Lucy finally took her first steps today. She was so proud of herself. After lunch I stood her on the counter so I could push up her sleeves to wash her hands and she sees some pears and zones in on them. She wants one bad. I'm watching her. She's standing really still concentrating and then she takes one step and then another and another and another. She finally gives up and drops to her knees and gets the pear. I put her on the floor because it was safer if she fell but she wouldn't stand for anything. I put her back on the counter so I could get some video of it. She only took a couple little steps for the camera. I was actually too nervous she'd fall and didn't push it anymore. I'm suprised to say the least. At 13 1/2 months I think she may be my earliest walker. I didn't think she'd walk for awhile. At her one year check-up she was 29 inches tall (44%) and 19 lbs. 1 oz. (14%). She's a skinny little thing but doesn't look malnourished. She's the complete opposite. She eats a ton and almost anything. Her and Neil eat all the leftovers. She burns all her calories because she won't sit still. She is always on the go. Too bad she's still in her infant carrier facing backwards but at least she gets to look at her sweet brothers in the back. I love this girl.

Sorry this video is sideways. It's really not much to show but I just thought she looked too cute and happy.
