One step at a time...

She did it! Morgan took her first steps on Monday and we are so excited. The kids had been playing when Morgan just let go and walked to her Daddy. We were both in shock. When we started clapping and screaming, she just looked at us and giggled and clapped with us. Since then we've been able to get her to walk back and forth between us quite a few times. Of course, Will is just slightly jealous so he is now pretending to learn to walk so we can clap for him as well.

I don't have my home computer at the moment (Steve is fixing some problems for me) so I can't give you any video's or pictures...but I did find a poem that talks about watching your baby grow up. Enjoy!


First Steps

These are the tiny feet, that carried you that day.
First steps free from my hands, I watched my baby step away.
During the coming years, I'll guide these little feet,
As they toddle 'cross the lawn, and safely cross the street.
They'll soon grow strong and steady, find puddles to kick and splash,
Pedal a two-wheel bike, and win a schoolyard dash.
Kick a ball, learn to dance, race a friend home from school.
Skip a rope, jump in bed, dive feet-first at the pool.
Your small feet may often stumble, scrap a knee, or take a fall.
Misstep or need direction, or a model to stand tall.
Know I'll always be behind you, my love will give you wings.
To proudly fill the shoes, a grownup life will bring.
The years will quickly pass, and these feet will learn to drive.
Walk the stage to a diploma, as graduation day arrives.
I'll watch through misty eyes, as you walk down wedding's aisle,
A family of your own, you'll start your journey with a smile.
These tiny prints will hold my heart, for each tomorrow you will grow.
Today I'll hold you closer, for too soon these feet will go.
