She's walking!!!!

Becky decided she could walk by herself this weekend! The first time was on Saturday. She walked about 4 steps from me to Al. He just picked her up, and I was like, "She just walked!" We were pretty pumped. Really didn't do much walking on Sunday. Today was a holiday for Becky and me, so we got to stay home and play all day. She walked several times. I think the key with Becky is to not make a big deal out of it. She is all smiles when she's doing it...pretty proud of herself without us making a big deal. When Al got home tonight, she walked the few steps right to him. She still crawls around too, but I would say she's officially walking. She's just going to do both for a while. Although she seems to like walking, she's still pretty cautious and slow. Just wanted to share!!!

Random pics from the last couple weeks

My first time having McDonald's...YUM! Not crazy about the fries, but what a yummy cheeseburger it was! ( Mom let me play with the fries box after I was done so she could get a picture memorialized for my scrapbook!)

My very first "real" baby. Couldn't stop giving her hugs and kisses. Carried her around all day!


I had fun playing with my cousins Kaitlyn and Becca. They sure are fun!!


Just because I like playing peek-a-boo with the box doesn't mean I want to be in it, Dad!


Grandma Donna sure loves to give me baths!

As you can see, it's been a fun couple weeks. We had three weekends of Christmas. It was fun to get to spend so much time with family. Becky is doing really well. She has six teeth now, and is working on her last two on the top. They haven't popped through quite yet, but are real close. She still isn't walking by herself. She is choosing to be pretty stubborn. She holds onto a finger for support, and then just takes off. If you let go of her hand, though, she immediately sits down and crawls. She will walk a couple steps from object to object at day care, but she will hardly even do that for us! We've decided she's just a cautious little girl and are trying not to fret about it too much. I'm sure she'll take off soon enough and then Al and I will wonder why we ever wanted her to walk in the first place!

I will try to be better about posting this year. I sure take enough pictures, I should be able to get them online. So far I've had good luck with the internet too, so that helps. Had to order all my Christmas cards while I was at work because the internet never wanted to work at home. Oh well!

We were having trouble for about a week with giving Becky a bath. It sure isn't fun to give a screaming baby a bath, especially when they're one! That only lasted about a week, and now she is back to liking them again. Have no idea what happened, but am glad she's back to splashing and having a good time.

Remember, if you want to see more pics, I have them published online at aljosjohnson.shutterfly.com. You can always view my albums there if you don't get the pics sent directly to you but want to see what crazy pics I've taken of Becky!
