Stepping out...

Riley has gotten a little more brave the past few days with her walking. She is starting to let go of the couch and walk a few steps toward her chair or a toy. She walked across the kitchen this morning and 1/2 way across the living room this afternoon. She is catching on fast and is realizing that she can do it!! I am so proud of her! It's so amazing to watch the look on her face as she concentrates on keeping her balance and lifiting one foot at a time! The proud look in her eyes when she watches us clap and hoot and hollar for her! And the smile that lights up a room when she knows she's the center of attention! Life is so precious and these first few steps are priceless! Thank you Lord that I am here today to witness these first steps! I pray that as she grows she will allow You to order her steps and to follow You down the path of righteousness (Psalm 23:3). Be her guide when she needs support and her map when she needs direction!

Go Riley, Go! She is doing such a great job on those two feet! I have loved watching her grow from a little baby to this walking toddler! She is such a sweetie!
