That's what I get for sleeping
Katie took her first steps today. I know this because Jamie and my dad told me. Well, and because she took some more steps later in the day. Anyway, the point is that I missed them.
I should be more broken up about it, I suppose, except that for all I know, she's been walking around in her crib for weeks. And I got to see plenty of other steps today, although she's being perverse and only seems to walk in the presence of my dad.
I feel more badly for Rex, who not only missed her first steps, but won't be around for another week. If Katie keeps walking a little bit every day, she could be toddling around quite competently by next week. I know he hates to miss this kind of stuff.
This is coming off like a downer post, but I don't mean it to be. I'm tickled that Katie has finally started walking. I guess that I've been expecting it for so long that it's not really a surprise.

Yay for Katie! She's be running by summer...
I love the pic of her reading.

Hooray for walking. I missed the first steps for my daughter. It was sad, but everyone reassured me that I will be seeing it many more times :)

Thanks :)
We got lucky and were both there to see Jamie's first steps. I guess this is our payback :)
