Current mood: surprised
Mia is on the move! She really wants to walk, so I take every opprotunity to practice with her around the house. Whether its greating Daddy in the morning by walking up to him (of course with me holding her hands) or like yesterday walking up and down the isles at BestBuy while Daddy was shopping. She enjoys it so much.
Today we had a big moment just about 30 mins ago. I was playing with her on the living room floor like I always do. Chasing her around, tickling her, picking her up and spinning her around to make her laugh. I then put her on the floor standing up and she just stood there. I backed up a bit to give her some walking room and I called to her, encouraging her to walk to me. Sure enough she took one step.. put her foot down, regained her balance, then slowly took another step, put her foot down, regained her balance then leaned over the rest of the way so I could catch her. I quickly picked her up, gave her a big hug while celebrating. I called up to Adrian who was upstairs and told him the good news. She took two steps! I was so happy.
I then put her down again to try again but she wanted nothing to do with it. Ms. Fuss Fuss kicked in (due to not having her afternoon nap and it was getting close to bedtime) so that was that.
I am so excited, I can't wait to see if she will do it again tomorrow!
