Man, this week is just full of them! This time, the miracle is that Whitney is walking!!! She'll be 16 months old next week and finally got up the courage to walk today. She's had the ability for quite a while now--she just hasn't had the confidence to actually do it.
I was sitting on the floor and Whitney was standing by the couch. She had a book she wanted to hand to me, so I pulled my hand back a little to see if she would walk it over to me. She took 3 steps to me and then took 3 steps back to the couch! I was SO excited! Kallie even got in on the excitement--she clapped and then hugged Whitney and kissed her and just kept telling her, "Good job, Whitty!" and "I'm so proud of you!"
Tonight, when Ryan came home, we decided to give Whitney walking drills. She just kept walking and walking. And, before bed tonight, she walked from the family room into the bathroom to brush her teeth. I'm hoping that she'll be as eager to walk tomorrow as she was today.
BTW--just as a side note, I have to admit that Ryan was totally right. This morning before he left for school, he said, "I think Whitney's going to start walking very soon." When I pressed for details, he said that he didn't have any evidence to back it up, he just thought it would happen soon. Chalk one up to Father's Intuition!

Yay! I love your new spring style blog! Your miracles are also very inspiring!
Yay!! Thats great!!! And I love Kallie's reaction, Ryley does the same thing when she's proud of Jackson for accomplishing something hard, and it just cracks me up and melts my heart at the same time.
Yay Whitney!!! Way to go! Sounds like she's a fast learning... the living room to the bathroom on the first day, very impressive!
Yay for Whitney walking! Weston didn't decide he wanted to walk until 16 months either. I was pretty sick of carrying him everywhere, so woo hoo for another walker!
That's great that she's walking. Your background is very cute. I didn't know you were homeschooled. I was too until 8th grade but we weren't very consistent with it and I skipped a few grades to keep caught up. That's kinda scary to me.
Yay Whitney! She'll have so much fun chasing Kallie around, and you'll have to try and keep up with both!
Yea Whitney!!! It may have taken her a while to walk but it sounds like there is no stopping her now!
