One Small Step for Peanut, One Giant Leap into Toddlerland

Leah took her first official steps on Labor Day - September 3rd, 1 week before her 14-month birthday.  She'd taken a step here and there for about a week when we tricked her into it, but on this day she began stringing them together. 

Yesterday was the first day we could get her to walk between something other than 2 people.  (The book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" seemed to do the trick...she loves sliding the little windows).  Tonight, she surprised us by suddenly walking halfway across the room to AA.  She's getting better and more confident each day.  But we tend to wear her out "practicing" - she certainly lets us know when we've hit the limit.

We're proud of our little Peanut!

  6. Yes, AA's excitement makes the first video that much better, it's awesome! You're just vocalizing what we're all thinking :)
    By the way, Gma, do you notice anything about little Leah's feet when she comes in for a landing? You'll now have another set of feet to prop-up!
