Milestone Reached!

I can't believe it - Madeline took her first steps tonigh! Well, at least the first steps that I've seen. Who knows if she has walked at daycare and Amy (provider) is nice enough to keep it a secret. I like to believe I witnessed these first steps...these steps toward me, her Mama. I just happened to be video taping her "reading" a book and thought "hey, I should see if she'll walk for me when I have the camcorder on." It took a few tries but she actually took 2 tiny steps towards me. I don't think she has really processed what she did. She didn't get up and try it again like I thought she would. She just kind of crawled over to her toys and kept playing. I've heard that once they start walking, your whole world gets turned upside down. They don't want to be carried anymore, they want to (very slowly) walk EVERYWHERE...including places that you just want to get out of as soon as possible (grocery store, bank, etc). Oh, well. Here's to two tiny steps toward toddler-dom. Way to go, sweet girl!
