Reach for the stars

It's another late night... but what could I expect when she was asleep all day. So now she's wide awake, swinging in her swing, talking to the fishies as they go round about and REACHING for them! This is the first time she's obviously reaching for something.

It's weird how something this simple makes me so proud of her. I'm so happy that it almost makes me tear up... or maybe that's just me overtired. Either way it makes me realize that motherhood is so much better than what I ever imagined.

Here's the video (taken with our camera so it's a little dark).
WARNING: She's in swing swinging so if you get motion sickness easily beware.

I know how you feel. Joy took a step the other day, and I got so excited you'd have thought she ran a marathon.
