Many More Steps

After taking her 1st step just a few days ago, Jillian went ahead and took a whole bunch more tonight. With Mommy sitting on the floor, Daddy picked Jillian up and got her standing just a couple feet away (although this took some time to do, since she was already trying to walk before her feet hit the floor). After letting her get her balance, she took a step towards Mommy ... then another ... and another ... it was probably about 5 or 6 steps in all before she finally reached her Mama's arms! This was followed by a big hug from Mommy, then lots of clapping and cheering by all 3 of us, of course. Then Jillian got down and got back to crawling, since it's much faster.

We did manage to get all this on video, but it's on the miniDV camera (which is more difficult to post to the blog). So hopefully soon, we can get a good pocket camera video of Jillian walking and get that posted here.
