Baby Steps

Whoever thinks baby steps are small ones has never had the opportunity to watch their own baby take them.

Ms. Z took her first independent steps on Monday morning to try to get a glass of water that John was holding (she loves drinking water out of a regular glass).  She took three whole steps without help.  She was acting like she might do something like that for a little while and I was getting nervous that she was going to do it when John and I weren't there to see them.  But she saved it so that both of us could see.  Of course, she went right back to crawling, which she prefers to walking because speed is better than verticality in her book.  But real walking is not far away now.  And we all enjoyed her new triumph.

There would be pictures, but my camera and my SD card conspired against me and I seem to have lost most of my baby pictures from June.  Color me not very happy about that.  But at least I was able to get my blog problems straightened out.

Updated to add: I know that clicking on my comments link leads to an error message.  If you click on the "Permalink" link just to the left of the Comments link, it will take you to the entry page (which isn't really any different than the comment link operates) and let you leave a comment should you be inclined to do so.  Not sure why this is happening.  More of the magic of migrating from MT4.01 to MT4.12 -- or just something I don't quite remember from the last time I did this...
