The Greatest Joy

I think that the greatest thing on earth is watching a baby turn into a little adult.

Charlotte is doing some amazing things these days. She is going through a period where things are starting to make sense. She is copying sounds, becoming attached to certain books, and the most special of all - walking!

Yes, Charlotte is walking. She is walking between people, say, five or six steps or more each time. We usually have to hold her upright and make sure she is stable, but if her mum or dad is a few steps away, she will walk across to them on her own. As she walks, she squeals in delight and laughs. Sometimes, if she is squealing or giggling too much, she loses balance. Its hilarious. When she is successful, she has the proudest look on her face every time she reaches her destination!

What a delight!

And I would have missed all of this had I been in Whistler.
