Milestone Update

Lucy has hit multiple milestones lately. She is now full crawling and has been for awhile along with walking! Yes, she's walking. She can take up to 10-15 steps on her own. Depends on her mood, what shoes, and what type of floor she's walking on. I can't believe how mobile she is now! She can crawl super fast now! In her world everything is "dada" even mama is dada. It's ok, it doesn't hurt my feelings but I can't wait until the day I hear her say "mama." She recently has learned to say "all done."
