And We're Walking, We're Walking....

Wait for it....
Wait for it....

After months of standing up unsupported and teasing us with a few steps Brooklyn is finally walking!
While Melissa and Jacob were here in April they tried their best to get her walking, they even made it a personal goal to have her walking before they left. No luck. So after a couple weeks of sitting apart from Brooklyn and Ben and trying to get her to walk between us, we just gave it a rest for a while. We figured she was a little nervous to walk because of we only have hard wood floors and it must hurt to fall on those. So we just decided to wait. Then  two days before Mother's Day a miracle happened. 
Ben, Brooklyn, and I were talking on Skype with Melissa, Janie, and William when Janie became grumpy. Now you must know that Brooklyn loves to Skype with Janie so in order to cheer up Janie I say "Hey Janie do you want to see Brooklyn walk!?!" And of course she did, so I set the computer on the couch and set Brooklyn a few steps away thinking she would wobble just a few inches and then fall. Instead she confidently walked up to the computer squealing the whole way there. I don't know if it was the computer or Janie but she was cruising like she'd been walking for weeks. It was no turning back after that. Now we've got a waddling little baby girl! Enjoy the footage!
