And the Real fun begins...

Elsa decided to give me the ultimate birthday present yesterday - she took her first "real" steps!

All weekend she had been taking a single step here and there but yesterday evening she took eight consecutive steps. Best birthday present ever!

From what I've heard from other mommies, this is pretty much "game over" for Carl and I. Time to hit the treadmill so I can get my endurance up for the next several months years.
