We Have Liftoff


Although Olivia has been very mobile and has been cruising since August, she has been reluctant to walk totally on her own. For a good month now she has been physically able to walk on her own but didn't have the confidence she needed to take that leap. But that all changed on Tuesday, maybe she was getting bored with her hand holding or was just feeling strong that day but in the afternoon I noticed something was changing with her attitude about walking. I gave her a little push and spent the afternoon helping take bigger walks on her own and then when Ryan got home she just took off. She walked all around the upstairs that night while we went through the bedtime routine. She is very solid and great at stopping and standing, she walks with her arms out in front of her (in case of a fall).

We are so proud of little sweetheart!!
