Eden has taken her first steps this week. I can hardly believe it. She is only 9 1/2 months old. Sarah (the Mom) told me she was taking like half steps over the weekend but not really walking. On Monday she really wanted me to hold her so I stood her up and she walked about 5 steps to get to me. She was smiling real big because I was really cheering her on. Then when she reached me, she buried her head into my stomach area. Like she was so proud of herself or she was thinking, "whew, that's over."
Yesterday was my day off so when I got there this morning Sarah told me that she was taking several steps in a row all day yesterday. She will be cruising on her feet in no time.
Ally was so cute today. Sarah got home a little early. When that happens Ally begs for me to stay longer to make her dinner. I think it is because it is different then her normal routine. Well, of course she begged for me to make her dinner tonight and Sarah told her she was doing it. Ally said, "But I want Janelle to do it!." Sarah said, "But I want Janelle to go home." So that was that. Then I headed off to use the restroom before I left. While I was in there I heard Ally say, "Where is Janelle" a little frantic. When I was coming out I saw her running outside because she thought I had left. I told her I wouldn't leave with out saying goodbye. The she closes the door, stands in front of it with her arms going across the door and she says, "You are not leaving. This door is closed!" It was so cute. But this actually went on for almost 10 minutes. She would not let me leave. I explained I had to go home and make dinner for Brian. She said"Brian can make his own dinner."I told her that he would be sad if I didn't come home. She said, "Well you can stay two nights, and then you can go home." It just went on and on and she kept saying, "You are not leaving this door is closed. I didn't know if I was ever going to get out the door with out breaking her heart but she finally opened the door for me. It was sweet.
For the life of me I can not figure out how to rotate this but wanted you to see Eden walking.

That was a funny story about not being able to leave. Poor Ally...
