Gracelyn takes her first two steps!!!! The BEST Welcome Home Present!!!!!

We don't have much to write at this time... we are FINALLY home after traveling a grand total of 14 hours!!!! Waiting for 5 hours this morning for our flight was a KILLER!!! and if it were not for those stinkin' time changes I am sure it would have felt shorter but NO it DEFINITELY seemed lonnnngggg. We actually raced each other to the baggage claim. (David kept trying to shove me into the wall) once we arrived at our destination GIGI OF COURSE!!! we took turns passing her back and forth. At first she was a little confused two crazy people running at her cheering.. but then she started to (hyperventaliate as I call it) squishing her nose and snorting and squinting... kicking her legs like crazy and dancing dancing dancing!!! The three of us just hugged FOREVER!!! Never wanting to let go, and not wanting the loving to stop! 
Though we fell asleep in the car ride home around 7pm she woke up immediately. She KNEW she was NOT going to sleep... oh no she was going to stay up and play with Mommy and Daddy! She has so much to tell us and show us... and one particular skill surprised us both! 

SHE TOOK HER FIRST TWO STEPS!! 

She has been standing on her own for a while and she just runs circled around furniture but she wanted to be with her Daddy so badly that she was going to WALK to him!!! We cheered... clappped... jumped... squealed... you know what ALL NORMAL parents do ;) Then I called my mother and begged her to tell me the truth about Gigi's walking... no she had not had ANY attempts at walking... she saved it for her parents!!

WE ARE WALKING ON AIR RIGHT NOW!!!  She is so much bigger and looks more like a little girl... she is growing up and in about two months she will be 1 :) We are LOVING everything she is doing and it all feels like the first time... when you tell her to say hi or bye bye she waves and when she is asked to clap she brings her hands together!!! AHHHH where did the baby go that we left a week ago!!

I promise to upload some of the BAJILLION pictures we took... but for tonight we are hoping for some SLEEP!!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!
