And off she goes!

Everyday Emily has been walking more and more, it's amazing. She has been doing laps around the house and can make it all the way around without stopping (well in Emily terms that means falling), and gets so proud of herself upon her return.

Yesterday was a first though. Andy and I had a few errands to run and apparently Emily wanted to experience her new found freedom in a new location. She insisted on getting out of the cart at Home Goods and off she went. At first she wanted to walk around holding both of our hands, but then after a few minutes and some gained confidence she took off, picking up speed as she saw some brightly colored stuff animals not too far in the distance.

Next stop was Ace Hardware so we decided to skip the cart all together. It was adorable to watch her just hold our hands and walk throughout the store. Here are some pictures to prove it (yes, I was the crazy lady taking pictures in Ace!)...
