At 10.5 months she took her first steps. She walked from her high chair to the back door. Dan witnessed these first steps of independence, and said she did it like it was no big deal-almost like she didn't even realize what she had done. Then a week later, she took a few steps for me. Again, it was nothing major to her-just a couple simple steps. Practice runs maybe??
And then...she walked!!! She let go of our dining room chair and started walking towards the refrigerator with a proud look on her face. She stopped about half way to her destination, but didn't drop to the floor. She just had a huge smile on her face and kept going.
I'm not sure what other people qualify as "walking", so I'm just going to go with 11 months for when she reached this exciting milestone!! Here are a few clips we've taken of her walking around the house and outside. A little wobbly at times, but she has great balance and recovers quickly. We are SO PROUD!
