So close!

Lucy is getting so close to walking!  A few days ago, she stood all by herself for a few seconds without holding on to anything.  The next day, she did the same thing a couple of times.  Then the next, she stood for way longer.  Just today, she has been a standing machine.  Also, I have been trying to get Lucy to walk with a little walker we borrowed from someone, but she has only been interested in playing with it, not walking with it.  Today though, when we were at a children's store, there was a walker there that Lucy really wanted to play with, and for the first time she used it to walk!  We love how happy she is for herself. :)  She's been using it all day (obviously we had to buy it) and has been super excited every time she walks with it.  And of course, Ryan had his handy dandy ipad on him so we got a little snippet on video (mostly for our own excitement because it's probably not that exciting to other people).

Lucy's other latest and greatest accomplishment is saying "yeah!"  I was with a friend the other day and when we asked her kids "do you want to go play on the playground?"  Lucy gave an enthusiatic "yeah!" right away.  We both looked at each other and laughed that she answered the question.  Since then, Lucy has started saying it a lot after we ask her a question.  I'm pretty sure she doesn't really know what we are asking her a lot of the times (unless she recognizes a word such as "drink" or "food" or "outside") but at least she knows how to use it! 

It is so fun seeing all of these little milestones happening.  Every day Ryan and I are so surprised by how much bigger she seems.  We love it!
