Here it is...Miss Abigail Grace Wennerstrom walking!!!! As I said, we got her new shoes and knew she'd be walking in no time. Yesterday she was taking 2 to 3 steps, so I decided to get out the video camera. I told Rob she's going to be walking any day now and I wanted to get the video before she walked...so we started taping and she just kept walking! We never got the pre-walking video, but we have a great, fun walker! She'll take a bunch of steps, but she's still learning what to do at the end. If there is a person nearby, she'll dive-bomb on them. Now that she has discovered walking, she doesn't want to sit. Today she held my hand and walked through Target (we were at Target for a LONG time with her little steps). She just has to learn how to get her balance on her own...I still have to "set her up" to start walking! Okay, so here it is:
(My voice is obnoxiously high and annoying..I hope I don't talk like that all day..for real, I sound like a Golden Girl...please turn off your volume! I wouldn't post this if I didnt' spend 2 hours getting it downloaded!)
On a side note...I think my parents might recognize Abigail's sweatshirt! It was my sweatshirt when I was a kid. My mom put some clothes of mine aside for me for when I had kids and this Crayola sweatshirt is awesome...it looks like something you'd buy today!!! So thanks Mom for saving it..and thanks Dad for not throwing it away!!!! It was all worth the 30 years in storage! Maybe Abigail's daughter will wear it one day...her kid will probably have to ask "What are crayons?" with how technology is changing! :)
Oh, and speaking of walking...you may have noticed my March for Babies addition on the side of my page. We are walking this year in honor of Abigail, Luca, Cally, Ava B., and all our favorite preemies! This year we are also walking in honor of the drs and nurses at CDH NICU who save babies everyday and gave us ours! We'd love to have you join us! It doesn't cost anything to join..all you have to do is come out and walk with us! While I am trying to raise money, I'm more just trying to raise both awareness and support!!!! So if you are free, come walk with our family! The more the merrier!!! I need to update those pages so check back often to see about new updates for the walk!
