She's walking! She's walking! Roxi took her first steps this very afternoon at about 4:30 p.m. She's been getting more and more adventurous with her furniture cruising, and today she took it to the next level.
Roxi's first wee walk spanned the distance between the exersaucer (which she had pulled up on) and me in our family room - about five steps. She repeated her outstanding new skill 45 minutes later ... and then repeatedly once Rob got home from work. We're beside ourselves. Roxi is, undoubtedly, wondering what the big honking deal is.
So far, walking has been limited to when Roxi is holding two toys. When she has a hand free, she reaches for something - us, the coffee table, a kitchen chair, Teton, etc. - to stabilize herself. But when the hands are occupied ... well, I guess she finally got tired of waiting for people, pets and inanimate objects to present themselves. Go girl, go.
