SHE WALKED!!!

Ella took her first steps on Friday!! This video is actually the second time....of course when she first took off I wasn't expecting it and didn't have the video camera ready...I just stared and yelled and cheered in disbelief! She is walking more and more every day, now...it's unbelievable! This video makes me laugh and tear up all at the same time :) It's a little lengthy, but she walks several different times in it. The best one is at about 1:50 second mark. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

YAY for Ella!!! I love how when she'd plop down she would just look up and wait for you to come get her! And the look on her face when you started cheering for her...priceless!

Ok, I teared up in excitement too. I was watching like "come on..you can do it" and then clapped and cheered outloud. HOORAY ELLA! So big! We are getting so close with Charlotte too. Its so fun that you captured it on tape. Ok, a few comments. I actually took notes so I wouldnt forget. 1) the gurgling sound that she makes, Charlotte makes too!! 2) "watch the wall, watch the wall!" haha. 3) my favorite is when Tom says "where does she want to go, b/c she is gonna have to walk there" Ba ha! Now that she has a new skill we have to work for perfection. I love this video.
