Current Mood: Excited
Thats right! Mia is officially walking! I had almost given up any hope of her walking before her 1st birthday since she never progressed past 2 steps before falling or making herself fall so she could crawl instead. So we were ALL shocked to see she decided today was the day... the day before she officially hits 11 months she walked!
It all started while I was cooking in the kitchen and Adrian was watching her in the living room. I was just about to set the steamer on cook when I heard, "OMG Angie! Come here shes walking shes walking!!!". I turned to look but all I could see was the top of her tiny head moving around, then it disappeared as she fell when she saw me. I ran over, "What?!?! How did it happened?! What did she do?!" I asked excitedly to Adrian. He said that she was just holding her blankey with one hand in the air and just started taking steps all by herself! I asked him how many and he said at least 6!!! I was so happy but at the same time alittle bummed that I missed the huge moment! Then sure enough there she went again, step, step, step, step.. my little girl was walking!!!!! We both cheered her on and she was trying out her walking legs!
I then ran to the phone and quickly called her Grandpa and Grandma Pizano (who happened to be on the phone talking to each other.. so they three-wayed my phone call) I got to tell them the great news and they both cheered! Mia walked two more times while I was on the phone with them, so I quickly hung up and grabbed my camera. I was able to get a couple of short clips of her walking. One of her walking in circles and one of her walking towards me crying haha (ya she needed a nap)
Thats my girl! She is officially walking! and managed to do it while still 10 months. Though she didn't beat the family record (held by my brother who walked at 9 months) she is runner-up! I am so proud of her!!!!
