She is walking!!!

Charlee loves shoes. We have no shoes that fit her feet and we have a lot of shoes! She went to her basket of shoes the other day picking these black church shoes, held them up to daddy and said "uh uh" which means "put these on me... please." Daddy put them on, she loves to walk in them, do you see how huge they are? SHE IS SO DIFFERENT THAN MY BOYS.

In mid October (2009) Charlee stood up in the middle of the front room and walked towards me. JUST LIKE THAT! She took about 8 steps and I think that is the most she has ever taken, but she does like to try. She will often stand up and walk a few steps, fall, stand up again and make it to where she needs to go.

Now her favorite thing to do is walk with her brothers holding her hands.
