She stood, took two steps, stopped and stayed standing until Maia hugged her down. Go go baby!”

And that was my Facebook announcement on November 13. She’s since progressed to several halting steps in a row, but crawling is still her preferred mode of transport when she really needs to be somewhere. But. She’s getting so good on her feet. She wants to be up and is starting to realize how much she can do when her hands aren’t otherwise occupied in acting as stabilizers.

She’s a semi-walker. Her skills get madder day by day. And she loves it. I’m so very proud of my littlest girl.

Maybe more of a foot adjustment, but still. The idea that she can remain upright and move is beginning to solidify. She just loves to stand and today she was letting go and holding an independent stance for as long as her baby attention span lets her. She is just so proud of herself. She’s going to figure this whole walking thing out any time now, and I think I might be ready for her.
