An Eventful Past Few Days

For a couple of months here people have been telling me that they think Jewel will be walking soon. Aunt TJ even said by 9 months. Well, Jewel turned nine months last Thursday(?). And as if on cue, she took her first step on Sunday. All by herself. She remained standing for a bit after that, and then sat down and started laughing histerically. Perhaps she knew what she had done and was totally enthralled with herself, perhaps it was the look of complete shock on mommy's face while calling to daddy saying "She just took her first step!!!!!" Either way, it was quite the ending to the big moment. 

Also on Sunday (while shopping at the Camarillo Outlets---- a "date" for mommy and daddy),  I realized that she is, in fact, getting that third tooth. Whoopie!!!! This has made for a tiny bit of crankiness. But thankfully, I think our daughter withstands pain well. 

The firsts just continued on Monday when Jewel started waving for the first time. Real waving. So cute. I will try to get a video of that. She also took two other first steps. Maybe she will be walking soon? I don't know how soon babies walk after that first alleged step--- but she seems to want it. Our life could be headed for some serious changes, real quick!

This is right after we got home from the shopping outing on Sunday. What a fun day!
