First Steps

So, Gabby just took her first totally independent steps tonight! She is 1 year and 3 weeks old and she seems quite proud! It is like a whole new world has just opened up to her! Enrique and I have been having her walk to each of us while we sit on the floor with her. She usually takes 2 steps or so and then just reaches out so one of us will grab her....but not tonight! She got her balance and started walking! She took about 5 steps and we were cheering and clapping and she had a huge smile on her face. Enrique ran to get the video camera and of course she was not cooperative. After a few more minutes she started up again and now she is getting even better balance....7 steps independently is the record for tonight! We did capture some good footage on the video camera and we will get it on here asap! On another note.....it is FREEZING here! All of Mexico is getting hit with massive cold front and it even snowed in one part of Mexico today! We have a heater in our room and we are staying warm in there for now! Hope all is well. Looking forward to Tuesday. What a marvelous day that will be....a new President!
