Jasmine's First Attempt at Walking

Thursday, July 16, 2009

We went to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. The kids were getting restless so my mom and I took Jasmine and Jocelyn outside to the grassy area to play while Tina and Marc finished up.

I was helping Jasmine walk around, and then Jocelyn started to yell, “Help! Help!” and grabbed Jasmine’s hand and was “helping” her walk. It was so adorable. I gave Jocelyn both of Jasmine’s hands and they started walking together. All of us were laughing so hard. It was the cutest thing in the world!

After dinner we went to Clement Park because there was a free concert going on. While Marc and Jocelyn were at the playground, the rest of us sat on the grass near them. Jose was holding Jasmine up and then said that he was going to let go. She stood there for about two seconds and then fell to the ground. That was the first time she ever stood up without holding onto something.
So we tried it again, but the second time she stood there and then walked about three steps and then fell to the ground. We were so excited! It was so cute to see her trying to walk. It brought tears to our eyes. It was great that my mom and sister were there to see it, too.
