I Guess Its Not ALL Bad

While I hate the fact that my child is sick, I really do enjoy the opportunity I get to stay home and spend more time with her than I would on the average weekday. Although this week has been a little more trying than previously because I've been trying to get work done while taking care of her.

However, today was by far one of the best sick days we've had together.

BABY BEAN TOOK HER FIRST STEPS!!!!

I can't tell you how happy I am that I was home with her today and was able to witness those precious first steps. I know she hasn't walked at the daycare before today because she has barely tried to walk at home until today. Not only did she walk, but she stood up all on her own without the aid of a table or any other object just before she took two steps. Since then, she has managed to take a few more steps all on her own.

In addition to those precious first steps, I have had to take her everywhere with me to run errands, to the store, to get lunch, to the post office, to return videos, etc. Every time I take her somewhere I get stopped by people all of the time complimenting me on what an adorable baby she is. The day we were stuck at Wal.mart for three hours, I had so many people stop me to coo at her and tell me how cute she was. She is not only cute, but she is really friendly. She loves to smile and wave. When we went out today, we got stopped twice at the grocery store so people could coo over her, once at the mail box store, and once at the post office.

One of the ladies at Wal.mart commented and said that she bet my baby wasn't always so well-behaved. I told her that actually, she is. I told her I was blessed with a very well-behaved, well-adjusted, happy baby, and I am.

Speaking of the baby, I'm getting off to go spend some more time with her!

Update already! The kid has mastered walking, I kid you not. Check it out! She went from her first tentative steps just early today to walking across the room!
