First Solo Steps

Gia has been cruising since October. We thought she'd walk by her first birthday. Nope. Like her mom, she's an early chatter but later walker. She's been crawling and cruising, and walking with help, slowly developing and getting steadier. She reaches up for a finger to help her. This morning, however, at 15-1/12 months, she took her first two SOLO steps! She was standing and reaching toward her "car," and stepped toward it! Soon she'll be walking and running ... we'll keep you posted!
