Guess what MRP did this week???

Hello Lexington FAMILY Magazine readers!

This post is merely an exciting update to MRP and her development lately; though I find it completely titillating!! The day after Thanksgiving, MRP decided she was going to take a few steps at my sister-in-laws house and impress the family with her new skill. WOW, I was amazed. But as of yesterday, holy cow! Watch out ladies and gentlemen, we have a walker on our hands! She's a walking MACHINE! She finds it to be the very best game to walk back and forth between Mommy and Daddy, and gets SO excited and proud of herself, even if she falls on her bootie half way across the room. I'm so excited I can't even explain--I wish there was a way I could upload the video I got of her doing it the first time to this site...? (I'll look into it.)

I know many of you are sitting there saying "Oh no, it's all over now!" But really, I don't think we could've stopped her even if we wanted to. The world is now her oyster and she's ready to get out into it. Yay for MRP! The only thing that freaks me out now though, is that when she's walking, I can see her wobbling (of course right next to something that could cause severe damage to her--i.e.: bookshelf, handles to things sticking out, etc.) and my heart stops everytime she gets near something. Just call me "Helicopter Mom," because I'm hovering baby! Any suggestions to calm my nerves?

Until next time: be one with the force (gravity that is!)
