Well, really I'm just lazy--she's been walking for three weeks....yeah, I'm slow. I also tried to get a video on here, but that didn't work either--my mom got it figured out though--go here if you would like to see her in action: http://horstclan.blogspot.com/2008/09/kennedy-walking.htmlAnyway, it was so funny when she first figured it out--it really was an accident on her part. She never intended to walk--she had it all planned out, she would just have me carry her everywhere for the rest of her life. Well, she slipped one day and walked. She liked the attention so she walked some more, but then, for the next two or three days, she wouldn't even lock her knees--she was just limp every time I tried to stand her up (little stinker!)
Well, she finally progressed to walking, but only if she could hold our hands, or else she would cry and scream and stand there stranded. Finally she started walking and enjoying herself a little. Now she has progressed so much that she can master walking with bracelets on her wrists and a purse over her shoulder. She looks like a little old lady when she walks--like she's pushing an invisible walker--it's so funny. Oh, and shoes are a must for her--she loves to accessorize (and I swear it's not due to my influence! :) )
And last but not least our little Kennedy has learned to fold her arms when we say a prayer. It is so cute to see her little dimpled fingers grab her chubby elbows, but she does it and she is so proud. She looks at each of us individually for praise before we can actually pray--and then we have to praise Bridger (you know how that goes...)--so, it is becoming quite the process!

lindsay, you have such a way with words! i wish i could express the things i see and feel as clever as you do! kennedy is such a doll! let's try to get together this week. jeff is headed down to texas to work for a few weeks. sarah said she wants to play with bridger... i'll call you.
That's how my oldest girl was. When we would try to stand her up she would just stick her legs straight out! Forever! But I love when they finally figure it out. So cute!
When you upload a video for the first time I think in order to be able to accept the 'terms and conditions' you need to scroll down to the bottom of the terms (pretend to read it) and then it will let you click the box. Hope that this helps you!
Way to go Kennedy!! Faith is being stubborn about the whole walking thing too.. She can take acouple steps but wont even practice! That little stinker. Kennedy is such a doll and it is fun getting to know her little personality as she gets older.
Give me five Kennedy. Way to go!
Mia, my granddaughter has taken her first steps too. The world is your now babe.
The house that you are building in Day Break is the one that we wanted. Except for the laundry closet. I would fall backwards down the stairs. I'm excited for you.
