A MILESTONE FOR KAMBRYN....

This picture is one of Kambryn's first time sitting,
even though she was assisted alittle

Today Kambryn took her first steps, seriously just out of the blue!! Lately she has really loved holding onto my fingers and walking with me but she really has shown no interest in walking by herself or even standing for that matter. Why, to her crawling is fast enough and she is totally cruising at it, so it makes sense. But oh no, she was going crazy trying to walk. She would pull herself up on the couch, do a 180 turn and let go and attempt the walk and just dive bomb it. Kyle and I just stood back letting her do it all by herself, she is such a determined little girl. Well after a few tries, she got the concept that if she picked up her feet instead of just falling flat over then she could actually get somewhere. So there she went. She took about 3 steps and then her momentum made her fall anyways, but she got up with the biggest grin on her face. Oh she knew exactly what she accomplished, and of course wanted to keep doing it. There was even one time that she took a step, stopped and balanced and then tried to continue and fell over. But we are so proud.

Funny thing is that just today one of our friends asked Kyle at church if he thought that Kambryn would walk before her birthday (which is April 5th) and Kyle was like "Yeah I doubt it. She is too content with just crawling." But low and behold she pulled the walking out of the blue and went for it today! Of course I didn't have my camera or camcorder next to me so I didn't catch any of the actions, but I will try to keep it close for these spontaneous milestones that happen.
Kambryn first crawled (army scoot) in Utah in September 2007. This is one of the first pictures I have of her scooting
