"Graci, did you just walk?" "Ya... ha ha ha ha!!!" "Can you do it again?" we said. "Ya!" she replied as she crawled hands and feet back to where she had started. Up she went... shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle! And then the belly laughing started! We clapped and cheered and laughed like crazy!
The next day, Tuesday the 30th, she stood up and took four big steps several times in a row! We were so excited to get it on video! She worked on it a few times and went back to playing with her toys. We immediately published the video to Facebook so the whole family could see! What fun to read the comments and realize how many people, friends and family, are out there cheering for Graci.
When she got up from her nap, it was time to practice again. Now she's walking like she's been doing it for weeks! Step... step... step...step... step... step!!! Unbelievable! She is so fun to watch and she's very proud of herself... as are we!
Today was day two of Graci practicing her new and most awesome method of transportation. She concentrates and really thinks through each and every step and loves the celebration when she stops. Clapping, one arm in the air saying "Woo hoo!" and getting up to do it all again.
She's already learned to turn; changing direction when necessary while continuing her steps!
Wow... tears as we realize we may be just a few weeks away from our dream. The one where we get to play chase with her in the park.
