Today is Scotty and my fourth wedding anniversary! What an amazing four years we have had as a married couple. Without getting too mushy here, I just want to say that I am perhaps the luckiest girl to have Scotty as my husband. He is truly the best husband, friend, and father! I love him more today than the day I married him (which is kind of a lot!) Happy Best-Day-Of-My-Life Scotty!!

Now on to the important news… Kayden is walking!!! Yahoooo! We are so excited! Scotty has been so great and taking her out walking using her leash. I should explain. The doctor discouraged us from letting Kayden hold our fingers when learning to walk. Well she really loved to walk so we decided to get her a leash- by we I mean Scotty. There is no real support when using this leash, but we can allow her to try walking and save her from any major falls.! Last night and tonight Scotty took Kayden out into the neighborhood with her leash and he swore that she was taking steps with a loose leash. Below is a video PaPa took while Scotty and Kayden practiced walking. After their practice Scotty and I figured we’d put Kayden between us standing up to see if she’d walk to us. To our surprise she totally did! She walked about 5-10 independent steps before she tipped over!! On a few occasions, she walked just a few steps, but then stopped and stayed standing! We are doing big things in the Hatcher Home, folks! Stay tuned for the post that says my child is running and I can’t stop her!!
