I took steps!

I did it! I took steps all on my own! Mom and Dad were very excited. I had been standing and waving all day, getting ready for my big feat. Grandma said I was really trying yesterday but couldn't quite get it right. I just needed some inspiration! Daddy walked in the door after work and saw me standing by the table. He smiled to me and said "come to Daddy, big girl!" So I did! I took three steps toward him. I felt a little shaky and was moving too slow so I finished up by crawling fast to Daddy. He gave me a big hug and smiles. He is very proud of me.
I had a fussy day today. Mommy thinks its a combination of a mixed up schedule and maybe some teething. I wanted to be held and snuggled. So that's what Mom did today. I was happy as long as she was by me. Mom came up with all kinds of things to keep me distracted. See me playing drums with bowls and a grown up spoon? I crawled around chewing on things today.
I went to bed early today and missed Grandma and Grandpa coming to visit! They went to Via Maria for an anniversary dinner. They have been married for 33 years! They were excited to hear about my stepping. Mommy gave them some of my pictures.
Thank you to Grandpa A for mailing me back my fuzzy pink blanket. I left it in New York! Mommy noticed it was gone when I was fussy and she couldn't find my blankie! I survived but I can't wait to get it back.
I'm peeping a little and want some snuggling. Mommy better stop typing and settle me in. Good night!
