Gee, she can RUN! She's really zippy. Lol I'm always amazed to see a baby that young walking since all of you were MINIMUM 1 yr, am most of you older than that. Hope you got the apartment baby proofed again. She's gonna keep you on you toes, for sure.
Thanks for putting up all the pictures & the vid! Goodnight for now. It's 2 am here. :)
Ok, she's around Lincoln's age and running? That is amazing. Sweet moments.
