I checked the video footage from the other night when Emily took her first steps and I’m sorry to report that the momentous occasion did not get recorded. I am happy to report, though, that she has done nothing but practice everyday since then and, just yesterday, broke her previous record of eight steps by going on a leisurely walkabout consisting of 15 unaided steps!!! All in under a week.
We did manage to record one interesting event that resulted from that fateful night. Besides walking for the first time, Emily also climbed down from the couch for the first time. The very next morning, we were there to put it all on film. Here it is, between flying through the air and attacking the camera. Enjoy:
“will it work like this?”
“no.”
Jan is an awesome camera person. hehe.
I made the same mistake as Jan and took a whole video – for work, no less, sideways.
I have to let you know that the past 3 times I have spoken to dad on the phone he has asked me if I saw this video on your blog (though he says bloog).
He gets all giddy and excited telling me how smart Emily is and how amazing she is – that I just let him tell me again and again. He’s as cute as Emily!
