Baby Steps

Baby Miss may be riding in it now but normally she likes to push it around or use it to steady herself when standing as was the case this morning. She used the side of the basket to assist herself into a standing position and then she let go and was standing for quite some time before she realized that she was no longer holding on. Upon realization, an excited grin spread across her face and she looked at me like, "Look Momma, no hands!" I cheered for her and then moved the laundry basket just out of her reach. I expected her to slowly drop to her knees and start crawling, as is always the case, but she totally surprised me when she took, one, two, three little baby steps until she was back within reach of the basket before grabbing the side. Needless to say, Daddy was extremely disappointed that she chose to take her first unassisted steps when he was at work.
