Yep, Caroline is mobile in every way!
The day care folks said she'd taken a step or two and we'd seen her try but it seemed to be more like the step before/during the impending fall. Tonight she changed all of that.
Caroline took 3 steps from her push cart to the coffee table this evening without any prompting from her parents. She did it again a couple more times later on so it's not a fluke. Our guess is when she thinks too much about it, she falls. The first steps we watched tonight were all driven by the need to grab her Dad's flying magazine on the table.
She knows it's cool too - you can tell she knows it'll get her more places and more stuff. The cheers her parents let out sort of encouraged that view.
We'll try to get a video shot and load it up. Just wanted to let you know we'll be working even harder to keep up with Caroline.
Hope all is well.

Update
Sorry for a lack of updates...been a bit busy.
A short-notice trip to Colorado Springs for work set up a house-hunting trip at Uncle Sam's expense. We didn't put in any offers of course but did manage to find out what the area has to offer and have our eyes on a couple of candidates. The average house is above 3K square feet and costs around $300K for what we want. Twice the house at half the cost of Hawaii! We'll definitely have room for guests. Our plan is to do a serious house-hunting trip at the end of July. Hopefully we'll find the house we want and know where we're living before we move...imagine that!
Caroline continues on her high-speed ways. She climbs the steps without hesitation now which means the gates definitely go up when we're downstairs. She's not quite ready to take that first step. It's a matter of balance and not strength. Give her a couple more weeks. Until then Caroline is happy to pull everything she can off the coffee table, shelves, etc. She LOVES electronics, particularly remote controls (Dad gets the blame on that one).
Caroline's new favorite game is dropping food off either side of the high chair. As you can guess, Barkley and Bella LOVE this game. Her parents...not so much. But at least the crumbs get cleaned up by the dogs.
Cindy and Caroline gave Walt a massage for Father's Day at a resort in Ko Olina (where the NFL stayed during the Pro Bowl). We may make a day of that since the resort has man-made lagoons perfect for little kids. Caroline spent more time in the ocean last weekend at the beach on base. She loved it and was splashing away like crazy. She wasn't thrilled by the occasional wave that splashed her face but got past it pretty quick.
More later. Hope all is well in your world!
