First Steps
She took her first steps today. It wasn't anything amazing, nor did she start sprinting down the street, like a crazed teenager after some dumb boy-band member. She just took a couple steps on her own, and then proceeded to balance herself with the couch.
She's been toying with this for a while. She'll stand next to something, and play with something else in her hands. Sometimes she's not as close as she might normally be, and she'll do all the same things, but won't be leaning on anything. I don't think that she realizes it when she's standing there, but I think that's the key. Today when she took those couple steps, I don't think she fully realized that nobody was holding onto her. She just did a little step step, and there she was.
She'll probably fall for it again. Walking is almost inevitable, and is fairly expected of most people. She'll undoubtedly give it another shot, thinking that somebody is holding on, when nobody really is. It's all pretty cool. First couple little steps.
