first steps


Charlotte's hard training over the past months has paid off:
pulling up into a stand, doing squats, pushing wagons, chairs, boxes through the house, and proudly walking on one hand only... 

In the past two weeks, Charlotte polished her skills quickly and took the final -- or better, FIRST (!) -- steps towards full walking. On June 30, she started standing all by herself without holding on to anything. Just a week later, on July 7, she took her first 2-3 timid steps forward before plopping down to safe ground again. And this past week, on July 12, Charlotte properly walked (ok, ok.... waddled ;-) along for a good
10 seconds plus!

Luckily, Daddy had his cell phone camera handy to capture the moment.

Way to go Charlotte!!!

(And Penny: Watch out... ;-)
