baby steps

My baby walks!

It's not full-time just yet, but she's so close.

It started when we purchased a walker for her to hang on and cruise around.

She mastered that thing, and it began to be her crutch all around the house.

Then last week, all on her own, she just stood up in the middle of the floor

and took a few steps. She usually follows it up with a bum-drop and a big smile.

It doesn't matter the surface or the location, she's one brave cookie!

The other morning, while celebrating James' Buzz Lightyear win,

Stella had just woken up and joined us outside for the festivities.

She decided that crawling on concrete was no fun...

So she stood up...

Straightened up...

And busted out a few steps...

It's just baby steps for now,

but we'll take what we can get!

FYI: I did get her dressed and tame her hair just after the taking of these photos.
