Walking on the Sly

I've blogged before that Andrina has taken a step. Well, Tom and I knew she could walk, she just didn't want to. Today I decided, rather impulsively, that I would take Andrina to the children's museum. I didn't take my camera. Which, of course means, that Andrina really walked today. She was by a 10 month old boy playing (he's not walking yet) when she squatted down, then slowly stood up without holding onto anything. She stood there for several seconds, then took TWO steps forward! I knew she could walk! She has been standing more and more on her own lately and walking when we encourage her to. I knew she could walk! Too bad I didn't have my camera or videocamera to get those first real steps. Of course, there's no way to ever know for sure when she'll do it. It's all on her timetable and she decided to do it on her own today without any encouragement.

Walking (she can walk on her own, I just don't have a picture yet)

From yesterday, standing on her own, because she dosen't know anyone is looking!
