Alexa takes her first steps - at the beach! (video)

It's official - We have a walking beach baby! Alexa has been standing on her own for about a week or so... On Wednesday, I saw her take a half-inch step with one foot. Then on Friday, Daddy and I both watched her take one micro-step with one foot. Still... Only one step is not "steps," plural, so we waited! Then, on Saturday, as we were getting ready for the beach, Alexa spied the cat and off she went on her own... SEVEN STEPS!

Grandpa Howard and Mema Wanda were there, but Daddy was busy putting the beach chairs in the car, so he missed it. Boo! Alexa made it up to him at the beach... Here is a video of Alexa walking on her own! (2 steps, squat, 4 steps, 1 more = 7 steps!)



She was so proud of herself, that she gave herself a standing ovation!



My adorable baby... She likes the beach better every time we visit! If you recall, she wasn't very excited about the beach on our first visit. Probably because the water was so cold. This time, she had fun playing in the sand as well a splashing in the water. Here are my favorite photos of the day!

Here is our beach baby enjoying the waves and splashing in the ocean! Yay, Alexa!



OK, OK, ONE MORE video of her splashing... She was loving the water!
