Amazing - Happy Birthday Eric!

So, today I was talking to Discover Card on the phone to settle a little problem I was having and low and behold.... Brynnlee just starts walking across the darn kitchen! She was smiling at me and laughing and made it from the kitchen table to in front of the oven - at least ten steps - and then fell on her tush laughing. It was crazy. Worried she wouldn't do it again for Eric today, I was telling him all about it when he got home. We were all in the kitchen when he started to walk down the hall to go to our room and change out of his flightsuit. Brynnlee started fussing b/c she hates for him to leave her side right after he gets home.... and then she stood up and started walking towards him! I swear that watching her walk makes me feel like someone watching a person who has been in a wheelchair for years. I don't quite know how to explain it. When she walked towards Eric tonight it made me cry. There was just something about the moment and how she just wanted to get to him and show him what a big girl she has became - it caught me a little off guard! Of course, after a few steps she realized it was taking way too long and slammed down on the ground to crawl at lightening speed towards him.... too funny. Quite frankly, I am overwhelmed that just a month ago she was not crawling and NOW she can do both, crawl and walk.... kinda. : ) haha I was sure this would break my heart, but I am just so darn proud of her! Good girl...... she made it a happy birthday for her daddy!!!

xoxo, Jennie
