Ready, set, WALK!

Lexi took her first meaningful steps today, at 10 months, 1 week, and 2 days old! What I mean by this is that she has been taking one step every now and then for about a month, but she'd always sit right back down as soon as she'd get that one foot up. Last night she finally took two steps at a time, this afternoon, she took three, and by tonight, she walked almost the entire length of the room to get to the laundry basket! It's so amazing to see these first crucial steps and she gets so excited for herself when I cheer for her-she gets the BIGGEST grin ever! I know that she is going to take millions upon millions of steps in her life, and I've witnessed the first few! Also, Jon got to see her take several steps today! I'm so glad that she decided that today would be the day that she did it. It's hard to tell with him, but I am pretty sure he was just as excited as Lexi and I were :-)

This is not to say that I am delusional about what this means...a lot more running around for mommy is in the very near future! As soon as she gets her confidence up, she'll be unstoppable! And considering how long it took her to become comfortable crawling-that is no time at all-that should be about this coming Sunday haha Being a mother is pretty much the most amazing thing I've done in my life, and I enjoy so much taking in all of Lexi's milestones. I know that I would like to have more children in the future, but right now I cannot imagine loving another child as much as I love Lexi, obviously this would change, but I'm not sure how it would happen. I also know that I enjoyed a very "easy" pregnancy and Lexi was a low needs newborn and I know that not all pregnancies are the same and neither are all babies. Anyway, the prospect of another baby isn't in the near future, but these are the thoughts I've been having...Hard to believe that in a month and a half, Lexi will be a one year old! Where did the time go!?
