We just knew this day was around the corner...

But we just didn't know which corner!

YEAH! Tonight, Madison finally took her first steps without being coaxed by mom and dad!!!!! Madison had just finished eating dinner, I had just finished cleaning up her mess and was about to sit down and watch the news and then it happened. She let go of her popper and walked towards the kitchen taking quite a few steps. Once she hit the vinyl she got down but you could tell she was just as shocked as I was! I couldn't believe it!!! Of course I jumped up and hugged and hugged and giggled with her!

Hoping that she would do it again since I wasn't able to record her "first" steps, I grabbed the closest thing I could find which was my cell phone. I sent it out to a few of you in hopes that you would see it. For those of you who were not able to see it, this is the video from my phone that I recorded of her taking her "second" steps! I can't tell you how excited I was. She too was very excited tonight since she didn't want to go to bed. I think she was so proud of herself and she just wanted to stay up and keep practicing. But with no nap this afternoon and knowing she was very tired I put her down and let her know that tomorrow she will have to show dad in person. He too will be so proud!
