"Come on, honey. Come on. Walk to Mommy. Walk to - Hey! Hey, did you see that, Steve?! Claire just took her first step!"

"Yes, I saw, Nat. This absolutely wonderful! Walk to Daddy, now, Claire. Come on, sweetheart!"

"She did it! She took another step! She's doing it! Haylee, Brent, come see!"

"What? Oh, oh, look! Wow, look at her! She's so beautiful! You've got such a beautiful daughter, Natalie! Isn't she beautiful, Brent?"

"Yes, dear. She is. I feel so proud to be her godfather."

"This is so exciting! Our little baby is walking, Steve! She's growing up!"

"I know, Nat. I know."

"Hold on. Did you hear...?"

"Shh, everybody. Listen."

"Ma - ma."

"She said my name! She said my name!"

"Say Dada, now, Claire. You can do it, darling."

"Ma - ma."

"She said it again! Oh, I'm so happy right now!"

"Yeah, Haylee's right."

"Aw, thank you. You guys are so sweet. You're welcome to come over and visit Claire anytime you want."

"Of course we will!"

"Shh. Let her concentrate! Say Dada."

"Mama."

"Say Dada, Claire."

"Yeah, sweetie. Say Dada."

"Mama."

"Come on, Claire. Don't disappoint your father. Say Dada."

"Mama - da."

"She's almost there, Nat! Haylee, Brent, did you hear!"
