Current mood: shocked
Mia never ceases to amaze me! Today not only did she decide to finally start taking steps while being held by the hands but she took off!!!
I blame it on Daddy, he shared a fruit popsical with her and then gave her Mango baby food as a snack. She HAD to be wired because she was going nuts. Then he took her by the hands and tried to practice walking with her. Usually she falls forward so she can take off crawling, or just jumps. Its so rare for her to take 1-2 steps forward, however, today she decided "hey I am going to shock Mama and Daddy and walk like a pro!" Sure enough, as soon as Daddy grabbed her tiny hands she started stepping and walking. Not only did she walk forward but she turned back around and went the other way! She can change directions!!! (Can you tell I am excited! haha) I was in such shock I ran and grabbed the camera and captured some of it on video. I was so proud, we all were. She was doing so good.
Then she walked to her changing table, grabbed on to it and Daddy let go. She found a lotion bottle and was playing with it, then found a hair tie and picked it up and leaned back. Just like that she was standing alone! unassisted! with the lotion in one hand and the hair tie in the other just standing there!! I was again shocked and turned on the video again to capture it. Then she fell on her butt haha
I am soooooo happy, excited and proud of my little one!!! She is finally showing interest in walking!!! I guess all the cruising on furniture paid off!
