The Bug's First Steps

Ada has shown no interest what-so-ever in walking anytime soon. She's very content to crawl and cruise around the perimeter of the living room- but she wanted nothing to do with taking steps on her own. Last night, however, she was standing at the windowsill screeching at the birds in the backyard- turned around, and took about 6 perfect steps across the living room to Casey! She was very surprised and proud of herself- and we were just as taken aback by it all!

Here is a video I took of Ada walking today after school. She's in her Birthday Girl shirt and TuTu because we were trying them on- for her BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!! I cannot believe that she's going to be one. I've got whole new post for that one... (The TuTu is too big, I got it a few moinths ago thinking she'd be in 12-18 by now! She'll be in it anway- just wearing it baggy!)

So here are some of Ada's first steps. She's a little cranky and tired, so it takes a while to convince her to show off her new talent- if you don't feel like watching me coax her into walking, forward to about 1:20 into the video!

Great job Ada!!! You are about 2 1/2 months ahead of Claire! She had no use for walking until about 14 1/2 months!!
