New Shoes for a Girl on the Move

That's right, Delia finally made the big transition from crawler to walker. She is a girl on the move! Although she's been taking steps for months now, she finally decided on Sunday to start walking and hasn't looked back since. MaMa and I took her to Saxon on Wednesday morning to buy her first pair of shoes. Shoe shopping for a girl is SO much harder than for a boy. Boys need a pair of tennis shoes and then a nicer pair of shoes (usually in brown). The girls' section is enormous and there are shoes in multiple styles and colors. I decided to stick with some simple---brown mary janes---but they do have little flowers on top and some sparkle. Delia's initial response wasn't what I expected. She started crying and wouldn't walk. Of course, the shoe salewoman was a little weird, so maybe Delia was picking up on that.

Here are some pictures of Delia in her new shoes and some video of our new toddler:
