We were starting to wonder if it would ever happen, but this afternoon it finally did. Abby finally took a few steps totally on her own! J’s mom was here watching her for the afternoon while I was at a meeting. When it was time for her to leave, I set Abby on the floor and she held out her arms to her grandma and took three or four steps to reach her. She did it again for J when he got home, so he wasn’t completely left out.
Everyone says to be careful what we wish for, but at 16+ months, it really is time for something other than crawling. Now we’ll just have to see how long it will be until she does it again.
