Liv walking...almost

Sorry about having to crane your neck to the side, but this was the best video of the two that I took. They came from my phone, so the quality may not be the best either. And by the way, the squeaking that you hear are her shoes. Thank you Grammy and Paps! (They are still big on her, but she loves wearing them around the house!)

My mom came over Thursday night and we were in Olivia's toy room visiting/playing. Well we both knew that Liv was on the verge of walking, but was just too stubborn to try it on her own (must be her dad's genes!). We sat there and played with her and encouraged her to walk between us. It started off as 1-2 steps and then my mom would gradually move back making the distance between us greater. Eventually, Olivia was able to take about 5-6 steps on her own before falling into my lap (which of course she thought was a game!). We are so proud of her and know it won't be long before she takes off on her own. She has gained so much confidence and is even standing for longer periods of time all by herself. Way to go Olivia!!

She did great - she looked pretty stable on her feet too!
