These Feet Were Made for Walkin'

Over the last month or so, Keira has been making steady progress toward walking. First, she started pulling herself up onto the furniture and everything else within reach. Then, she started cruising along while holding on. She also has a walker toy and started out by walking with it while we held her up for extra support. Then, she suddenly took off on her own with the walker toy, dashing around the living room. After that, came standing up on her own. At first, she would pull herself up onto something and then let go, but this progressed into standing straight up from a sitting position on the floor. Then, a few days ago, she began taking her first steps! Of course, we try to entice her to walk to us, but she also stands up by herself and takes slow, deliberate steps while concentrating hard and balancing herself. This is an exciting time and soon we will have a toddler on our hands--yikes!!

Tearing around the house with her walker toy:
