First Steps!

The Little Mover has kept us on pins and needles these past few days as we’ve watched (and attempted to video) some of her first few steps…

On Monday she took her first two steps on her own…but then opted to crawl as soon as the camera came out.

On Tuesday she took seven steps…and again clammed up with “stage fright” (which in her case means the giggles).

On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday she apparently needed to take a breather…or just build our anticipation?

And then on Sunday, we finally caught her in the act!  She took 5 whole steps on her own, and so of course we grabbed he camera and started taping.

True to form, our girl got the sillies and made taping her a wee bit difficult.  But we did it!  I mean she did it!

To stand, per chance to walk

The Little Miss and her two sidekicks (a.k.a. parents) just returned from a fun beach vacation with the entire Wright family.  During the week she got oodles of practice walking around, all while holding the fingers of her aunts, uncles and grandparents.

All of the practice paid off because during a quick stop at a NC rest area, the Little-Walker-In-Training surprised us by standing up all on her own!

And then today she surprised me again by taking her first two steps all by herself!  We’re waiting for a second go so that we can capture her walking on video.  For now, the Little Trickster is keeping us guessing (with camera in hand)…
