After nap today Will and I were both sitting in the living room floor with the kids. Megan wanted to stand up leaning against me. All of a sudden she decided she wanted Will and she took 3 steps from me to get to him.
She wasn't holding onto anything - she took her first 3 real steps. We were both in shock and she was so happy with herself. She then proceeded to walk to me taking 2-3 steps to get to me - we did this back and forth 3 or 4 times and then Will said we should be recording this.
I setup the video camera and she went back to work. She took 2-3 steps between us multiple times and she was beaming.
We decided to go out for dinner and we went to the Mexican place in downtown. I was carrying Megan down the sidewalk and then we had to wait for the walk sign at the corner. When the sign changed I said "we can walk now" and Megan started saying "please, please, please" all the way across the street. I told her I would let her walk once we got across the street. Her asking to walk just made my heart beam.
When we got home Megan played in her cozy coupe while Sam ran around the yard. I came inside with Sam, gave him a bath and put him to bed and then Will came in with Megan. We decided to see if she would take more steps and turned on the camera. Megan was taking up to 5 steps at a time between us and she was so very proud of herself.
What an exciting afternoon for her. She has been sad when Sam walks past her and she wants to do it so badly so I am thrilled that she is getting there.
