Kaylee took her first steps (while we held her)

Last night we were up every 2 hours. I was a very hard night. At 4:30 we had the worst of it, listening to crying for about an hour. Finally she gave in to me and to sleep, after some comforting from me (but I wouldn't pick her up) and from Eric. She slept then until 8. I do not feel rested at all today. At least the night before last I got a full night's sleep!

An exciting thing happened yesterday, I was holding her up so she could practice standing as she likes to do. She bounced up and down excitedly and they took 3 steps toward me. I got super excited cheering her on. I called Eric who was getting us a pizza, when he returned she did it for him too. I guess some walking practice may be right around the corner!

Oh, and the last few days I've heard a lot more Mom in her cries. She also said Mom once when I came into the room. I was so excited to finally hear her say it when she wasn't crying, I was like, "Yes I'm Mom! Come to Mom! You said Mom, Mom, Mom. Yea Kaylee!" I'll be keeping an ear open for any more "Mom" sounds coming from her!
