First Steps

Well, Hannah finally made her first steps! Hannah has been walking behind her little push cart for the past three months and has become quite a pro at steering around the house. Over the past few days, Hannah has let go of the cart (or couch) and would just stand all by herself. I knew walking was coming shortly. Josh and I have been coaxing her to walk to us or reach for her bear or doll but she would drop to all fours and crawl to us (or make sure she was holding onto something). This morning as we were sitting in the living room Hannah pulled up again and was standing all by herself. Josh held out the bear or Hannah to take and she shuffled three steps to get there!! Josh and I looked at each other and Josh said, "Does this count as her first steps?" Maybe we were expecting fireworks to go off with "Hannah's 1st steps!". We praised Hannah but alas, she did not want to do it again. This afternoon on two more occasions she has taken a set of 3-4 steps to get somewhere she wanted to be. We are so proud of our little girl. I can't really call her my baby anymore. She is growing up so fast!
