Baby Steps

I bought Lucy the cutest pair of little Nikes yesterday. Pink and white and silver, the tiniest trainers you've ever seen. Adorable.

I have resisted the urge to buy her shoes until now. All those darling little things with patent leather and glitter and bows that they sell to mommies like me who have waited years to put them on some chubby baby girl feet. However, I had to buy these, because Lucy has taken her first steps.

She can only go one or two at a time, while she tries to chase a rogue cheesy poof or grab the tv remote out of Turbo's hands. (The girl loves her snacks and controllers.) But that is enough to throw us into a tizzy.

We love it and we want her to do it more. So we do what we can to get her to keep going. I am almost embarrassed to tell you how we encourage this new skill...by bribing her with treats. Yep, just like we taught Otis to sit and roll over and fetch.

Whatever, it works and she loves it. It just kinda makes me wonder how we will get her out of diapers...
