First steps!

She's been working on it since she came home and tonight she did it. Natalie took 3-4 steps all by herself, walking from me to Paul. It was awesome. Now, I know, everything changes once they are mobile and especially once they are walking. But, Paul and I were afraid that Natalie would take her first steps in Korea (in fact, it was the first question we asked our social worker on our way to Natalie's foster home) and so are very glad that we were both able to experience this first with her instead. Natalie loved all the attention - the big smiles and yahoos that she was getting - so she decided to try it again and repeated her achievement two more times tonight. We were able to get the picture above just before she sat down the last time. Andrew wanted to be part of it all too and was a great big brother, helping to hold Natalie's hand. It was very touching. A great way to end the day and the week.
