First Steps

My goodness, what a day. Emma seemed to grow up before my very eyes today as she literally took her first steps into a larger world. Hesitantly and haltingly, she took tentative steps toward me and it felt as if a bubble grew around us, a slow, still bubble where a single heartbeat lasted a minute and a breath a lifetime, while the rest of the world spun and thrived around us. Then, she was in my arms, having walked to me and I felt like if she could walk, then I could fly. It was the most wonderful feeling. Thank you to Nana Bee and Nicci for helping and encouraging Emma to take her first steps. You made my week! And, thank you to Nana for all of the wonderful pictures this week.
