OMG ... She DID it!!!!

Isn't that the best experience?

My John's granddaughter was attempting to walk right after she turned 1. One Saturday afternoon, just as we arrived at their place, his daughter-in-law took Sophie out of her highchair as I plopped myself on the floor. Within 2 seconds, Sophie took her first 5 steps into my open arms! I felt blessed, yet bad because her mommy was sitting next to me. So basically, Sophie's first steps were to me.

Sophie's a fast, little teeny weeny thing, loves stairs and climbing. I think I have a 360 degree head and eyes all around. Betcha you will too any day now!!! But I love it!

I have to laugh at this thread, I love it when I see people do the 'baby lunge',.


The BL is watching a person sitting back until the baby comes into the room.

They move from slouching on the couch, then they sit up straight and move to the elbows on the knees.

Then they 'Lunge' every time the baby walks by or in front of them. They are set to catch them should they fall.
