I just had to jump on here and report that my daughter, who will be 10 months old the day after tomorrow, just took her first steps. She's taken a step here and there over the last week or so, but she just let go of the ottoman and walked about 8 steps to where I was sitting! It's so cool to witness all of these new things that she can do. She is such a smart girl. She does the sign for "milk" and the sign for "eat," she can play pat-a-cake and she claps when you say "good girl." She also waves hello and goodbye. She is just so cool.

Here are some pictures of Gabrielle from a week ago.

Just kidding mommy, I've still got plenty of energy:
