A whole new independence.....

Addison has been "walking" for a few days now but not very stable. As of yesterday, she really conquered it. She has it down. She refuses to be carried. She must do it on her own. It has been obvious for weeks now that she likes to be on the move and doesn't like being strapped down (in the stroller or car seat, especially). Walking has made this only worse. A whole new independence. Ugh, she's so big. Hard to believe, tomorrow she will be one. ONE!

this picture melts my heart. It really shows what a happy child she is! 

and yet another video to show her independence. Even though her feet don't technically reach the floor to "ride" her toy, she insisted on sitting on it. Hilarious!
