Olivia likes to stand up. She likes to cruise along the furniture. She likes to wrap her hand around our fingers and walk to the local grocery store.
But she never lets go of the chair, wall, or our hands. She will only walk if she is hanging on to something. Until June 12. That's when our little O bravely took her first independent steps between the chair that I was sitting in and the chair that Benny was sitting in.
Of course, we didn't get a photo of this first step. Or a video. Or even get a good look at it.
At the time I was on the phone, talking to my grandmother. Benny was reading the newspaper. We both caught a glimpse of it out of the corners of our eyes. Enough to know that it happened.
After we cheered and tried to get Olivia to take another step, she shook her head, refused, and went back to playing with her blocks on the floor.
But it counts. Olivia took her first steps.

It's so frustrating! Jonas cruises just fine, and he'll walk for his 10 yr old cousin (which would be great except for the fact that we're in Kentucky and she's in Texas....). Why are babies so stubborn??
