Annie had a massive breakthrough a few days ago, and she walks a ton now. Of course, because she is ANNIE, she was slow to “perform” on camera (in fact, getting her to do anything on camera, be it video, still, etc, is getting harder and harder (which makes a weekly video SUPER challenging, but we GIVE and we GIVE)), but this gives a good idea of her adorable “just got off a horse” gait.
if you can’t see the video above, click here.
Seriously, there is nothing better than when she walks twenty steps and then gives you a hug. You really can’t get the idea unless you come over. Do you want to come over? We’ll have a BBQ!

Yay for walking!! I love that hug at the end, awww. I was recently looking at some videos of my little girl from last year when she just started walking and my hubby & I would say it looks like our daughter’s a drunk baby during those early walking days.

OMG – She’s so cute! I love how she put her head on Mike’s shoulder, snuggling close to him with a smile on her face. There really is Nothing like a toddlers new found gait when they’re starting to walk. It does look like she just got off a horse! ha ha
WAY TO GO ANNIE!!! Every day is going to become a real adventure as your confidence grows and your walking increases. Watch out Mama & Daddy….that baby girl is going to be runnin’ in no time at all!!!
Look at her go!

You know that gate isn’t gonna hold her much longer. Go Annie!!
With that background music, I couldn’t help but think Annie might have had a little too much tequila. I’ve seen that “too much tequila” walk. ha.
Annie will be full speed running soon. Better get ready!

Yes, I’d love to come over. Unfortunately, coming over means across the continent and into a different country. But the BBQ should great!!

That gait is adorable. Way to go Annie!!
Aww, How sweet, adorable and loving she is.:)
I would Love to come over for a BBQ and get one of Annies hugs, but I live in Nebr so that makes it to far for me to come right now. Thanks for the offer , I know it would be a blast to hang with all of you!!
I totally LOVE barbecue and now I want to come over to get a sweet little baby fix and of course to eat and then to hang out with you and Mike because you guys seem so sweet~

Gah! I LOVE their first steps.
I’d be over there in a flash if I didn’t live in Manitoba.
Oh, I so love the phase where they just start walking and they look like teeny-tiny drunks staggering around the house. That’s awesome.
(And you know I’d totally come over except for the whole 3,000 mile distance thing.)
Oh my gosh she’s so adorable! Go Annie!
You did good too, Rigby.
Jen´s last [type] ..Oh My God
Gosh, she is absolutely the cutest little thing! Love the way she crashes into the arms of her father with a big hug — what an affectionate and sweet girl you have.
Go Annie!
I would *totally* love to come over, but there’s a good chance I might steal your dog. I love that dog.
Oh the cuteness – look at her go!!

So cute! We’re still waiting on those drunk baby steps…my son just turned 1 a couple weeks ago. Such a fun stage!
Courtney´s last [type] ..Benjamins First Year
Ahhh Major break through for sure!
Yayyy Annie!!
Noticed in the background you have one of those baby-lounger things. Did it work? Did you find yourself using it often?
Adorable! Soon she won’t have her arms up anymore, and she will walk like a pro. Enjoy those hugs at the end while they last!

And what about her tongue? She is too cute!
OMG! How cute is she????? Love the belly hangin out. And Rigby, she’s just as cute doing her little thing. Yes, I do wanna come over, I’ve never been to CA!
OMG Toddler Belleh!!! So cute! I love the drunken baby walk. If I come to that bbq, I will be spending all my time trying to bite that belly, and I mean that in the least creepy stalker way possible.
Aww, Rigby. I have a little dog that stands like that. It’s super cute.
She is sooooo cute! I bet you and Mike have never picked her up without kissing her sweet face, have you? I want to come to a bbq and see for myself how she’s getting around. And I want to kiss that sweet face!
Thanks also for the beautiful Maddy-Moo pictures that we see everytime we log on. I always click on them and look at more in Flickr. She tugs at my heart so much and I’ve never even met her in person.
Hugs to you all!
Go Annie! LOVE IT and am so happy for her
ps, that part where she is in her playzone with the gate? That is totally my “OMG I’m soooo drunk” walk ;-D
Annie is so adorable! Love that video. And Rigby is such an awesome little dog!
Oh my gosh! I love that little drunk cowboy (err, cowgirl) walk! Man, I miss that stage…
Open invitation to a BBQ?! when?!
LOL 
Love that video! Go Annie Go!!!
Rigby… too cute… ha!
Hmmm…I live just an hour’s drive from you guys, so heck yea I’d come over. If invited. I’d bring all my kids and completely overwhelm you guys…but Annie would have a blast!
How fun that she is walking now! Now…the real fun begins:)

I want to come over for a BBQ! Unfortunately I don’t think it is a quick day trip…I live in Texas!
Heather –
I heard a very disturbing story today, and the mother is asking that their story be heard. I tried to figure out the best way to get this story out. I know you have so many readers, and I thought you might be able to get the word out. If you feel it’s inappropriate, feel free to delete my comment. Thanks. Here’s the family’s story: http://oureyesopened.blogspot.com
Jen
Yes, I read that story today, too. Heartbreaking. It’s crazy to me that a family from the US wants to adopt that little boy as their own, love him and care for him, yet the “law” in their country says “NO. He has Down Syndrome and therefore must live his life in an institution.” and denies his adoption. Better to let him suffer in an institution all his life, without parents? without a family? without be able to meet his full potentional? Russia…what are you thinking over there? Why?
Adorable Annie – congratulations! It is a whole new world

Yay Annie, go Annie go!! Your e-auntie is super proud!!
Too cute
Thinking she is going to be busting down the doors of her gated community very soon! Be AFRAID!
I love how she flips up her tongue!!
Also, how she doesn’t seem to travel anywhere without at least 2 things in her hands… looks like she is practicing for HUGE shopping trips
Dawn @ What’s Around the Next Bend?´s last [type] ..Friday ConfessionalIm a mess
She’s multi-tasking!!! Walking with toys in her hands!!! I can’t even manage to do that most days.
BBQ??? We’ll be in your hood in May….so what shall we bring?
Adorable! My son’s favorite DVD is “The Annabel one”. He got very excited to see ANNABEL!!! in this clip, too. Let us know when volume 2 comes out!
