On the move!

Last night, Keeley officially started walking! She's been going full steam ahead for awhile now if she has something to hold on to - even if it is just your pinky. Last night, however, she decided to start doing it on her own. The best part is that I was afraid she'd cry every time she fell down but she doesn't. True to her performer's heart, she pushes herself right back up, claps for herself, and says "aaahhhh!" with her tongue hanging out. She also decided that she should wear a dishtowel as a cape for most of her adventure last night. After awhile she took it off and simply carried it, but for a good ten minutes it was a cape. Do other people's children dress up so much? I have no idea why she thinks it is such fun!

Fuzzy, I know, but do you see her clapping for herself?

"aaaahhhh"

You will all be happy to know that she is no longer applauding her own efforts today! (And, she is now saying "ball" and "bell" sometimes to add to the "dog" and "out" conversations we have!)
