Starting to walk!

I don't have any video (yet) but Julia is officially starting to walk - finally! Not to compare our kids, but Grant was walking everywhere by this age. Oh well :) Julia started taking about 4 steps at a time last week, but tonight she walked half way across the living room (about 8 steps). It is so cute to watch - sometimes she does it with her arms sticking straight up in the air. And she's so proud of herself - she looks at us when she falls and starts clapping. Of course we are all clapping like crazy by then too, so she joins in. Other news with Julia - she is completely fearless. She figured out she could push her little boat toy to the couch and climb up on the couch. She climbs on everything! And she just smiles when I say "no". Again, not to compare the kids, but Grant NEVER did some of the stuff Julia does!! She falls all the time, but luckily is tough and doesn't seem to mind (even when she hits her head). Oh, and she ate a ponytail holder today. It was one of those tiny baby rubber bands. She's been pulling her hair bows out for a while so today I tried a whale spout, thinking she couldn't pull the band out. She left it alone most of the day, but this afternoon we were driving and I heard her choking on something. When I stopped the car, her hair band was missing, and she had a hair hanging out of her mouth. Guess that will show up in the diaper tomorrow!
