My First Step!





I took my very first, unassisted step on August 2---9 days before my first birthday!

Mama and Dada were playing with me in the home office room. Mama and Dada were on the floor, and I was twirling Dada's computer chair. Then all of a sudden I just let go of the chair and took a step towards Dada before making him catch me in his arms. Mama and Dada were shocked. They looked at each other. Mama asked Dada, "Was that a step?!?!!!" And Dada said, "I think so. I'd call that a step!" Then they got all excited, and I got kisses.

(If I knew that they would get so excited, I would have probably stepped sooner!)

I also should tell you that two weeks ago I learned how to go up the stairs. One day I tried it and the next day I was zooming all the way up to the top. I love going up the stairs...just as long as someone is behind me cheering me on!
