Kayleigh's First Steps!

This afternoon, Kayleigh managed to take her very first steps on her own. She's been able to walk a few steps at a time when holding someone's hand, but this is the first time she was able to do it independently. We didn't have the camera rolling for the literal first step, since she did it unexpectedly. We started shooting video about 20 seconds later. Welcome to toddlerhood, Kayleigh!
