First steps

On Saturday morning, Mae took her first official unassisted steps to her dad and sister (although there was much coaching on their parts). Everyone was very excited, but we are still days away from much more... or so I thought. On Sunday, she stood up in the middle of a "ball" game with Rich and I and took two steps to him all on her own. Later that night, she stood up in the middle of the floor and started "dancing" -- stepping side-to-side but picking her feet off the ground -- to music she heard on the television.


This only confirms what we suspected -- the kid can walk, she just has to decide to. Unfortunately, all of these steps have caught us by surprise so no pictures yet. But, we're keeping the camera close for next time.
