and she if off....

Well Mallory has done it - she is beginning to walk!  She took her first unassisted steps yesterday while at Memaw and Papaw Paduano's house.  While she can only take a few steps at a time it really started to click for her yesterday as she started to push herself to stand up first then take off and actually walk!

She has been walking while holding hands for the last 4 weeks or so, she has been standing on her own for about 2 weeks and she has been cruising the furniture for 2 months or more. This time she did it, took those steps and did it all by herself! 

She does have her first bruise from falling and hitting the table but she bounced back nicely and I am sure will be running by the end of the week.  Especially since she and Cale are transiting to their new classroom this week - they are now with the bigger kids! YIKES they are growing way to fast!

I don't think Cale will be far behind, he will walk holding just one hand but we will see because he tries to run - since he is so fast at crawling he wants to get to where he is going walking that fast too! 

I will try to get some video/photos posted but for now I wanted to just mark this milestone and say:

Way to go Mallory!  We are so proud of you!

You have taken your biggest step yet and now there is no stopping you!
