I win, I win, I win!

Miss Ellie has now taken two little, independent steps! The first one was on December 19th, but Damian said it didn't count because she took a little step and then immediately grabbed on to him. Fine by me, because the second step came yesterday on the 20th...the day I predicted! Woohoo! If only Vegas had games that involved gambling on Ellie -- I would be rich!

So back to the walking. Yesterday, Ellie took that little step and then continued to stand on her own for ages (probably 20-30 seconds). She is so steady on her feet -- it just seems to be the motivation to walk that is lacking. I guess when she decides that she wants to walk, she'll do it all at once. No tentative steps followed by big crashes for this little one!

Okay, that's it, you can't be in pools about Ellie any more, Adrienne. We can't quite figure out how you communicated with her before she was born but we're sure you fixed it with Ellie. She'll be running around with Thomas and Joseph before you leave England. We bet she just loves playing with them and that they love her just as much. Cousins are a wonderful invention.
