Walking

Hattie started walking right before her 14 month birthday (August 18), right around the time Owen did.  A few days prior to "walking" she had been taking small steps from one item to the other, quiet proud of herself.  We knew it would be no time at all before she let go and walked.  Each time she would take small steps the boys would report it for me.  "She's walking mommy!"  Then she would look up and smile.  Finally she took off and walked from the ottoman to the chair, from a chair to the table, etc.  She surprised me and walked all the way across the room, 7 whole feet!
