First step?
March 22, 2006
Mia's new trick today is standing by herself. This morning I took her out of the exersaucer and just plopped her down as if she could stand by herself. I don't know why I did this; I never have before (because she CAN'T stand...) but I did today and she just stood there looking at me. I just stood there looking at her thinking, "Wow she just standing there, and it's been a while now." Eventually she thought, "Hey, I'm standing, but I can't do this yet." So she sat down.
So today our little game is how long can we stand without holding on to something. And, now she's started trying to step. I got this still picture of her, but she was highly uncooperative for the video...
***UPDATE***
So, it was a big day for her. After I posted this, she started stepping more while she was standing. She took 2 STEADY steps today! Not the same as what she's been doing where she just sort of keeps walking after she's at the end of the couch and takes a couple steps on her way down. No, I stood her up, she stood there, not wobbling, just stood there for a few seconds. Then she smiled and waved at someone and took two steps toward them without wobbling. Then she stopped and still stayed standing for a second before she sat down. It was only two steps, but they were (seemed) purposeful!
