Stepping into the New Year!

First, I just wanted to post a few pictures of Cate wearing an early birthday present from Gr. Aunt Diane and Gr. Uncle Jim. Isn't the vest fabulous? Anyways, Aunt D., just wanted you to see her in it! Thanks! It fits her perfectly.




So back when Cate started crawling, I remember writing that it was as though she woke up that morning and said, "Hmmm, I think I'll crawl today." Well, we've had a similar event occur, but this time it is walking. Now she's been standing on her own for weeks, and she's taken a couple of shaky steps here and there but no true walking. Then yesterday, she just started walking. That's it. Off she went, like it was no big deal. I don't know if she thought, "Gosh, it's the last day of 2008. What else do I want to add to my year's list of accomplishments? Oh, right. Walking. Ok then, here we go."

So here's some video of Cate walking....

Hooray! So exciting. And it's wonderful to see that toys are strewn from one end of your house to the other, just like they are at ours! :) J and I were just saying we wish the two of them could meet. I trip out to Maine might have to occur sometime! Love you all!
