Violet is walking! Last night we were at a friend's graduation party and Violet was playing in the grass while we were sitting at the table talking w/ friends. From over Josh's shoulder I saw her stand up on her own (without holding on to anything), which she's been doing for a while. Usually, she drops back to her knees or grabs on to something nearby, but this time, I saw her little head moving and said, "Is she walking?!" So we all stopped talking and stared at her while she took her first steps! Then, of course, we all applauded and cheered, surprising her so she dropped down. But a few minutes later Josh got her to walk to him. Josh feels proud that he's the first one she ever walked to. Today we worked hard to capture this short video. I'm sure we'll have a lot more footage soon enough of her walking, running, climbing... going to college...never mind.
