Progress!

We are beginning to see some progress in Andrea's efforts to walk. It's nothing dramatic, but every little step (no pun intended) is encouraging.

Just this past week, she has finally begun to ENJOY walking around with us. When we take her hands, and help her to walk, she actually thinks it's FUN! She still takes huge, clumsy steps, and tires easily, but it is so great to see her showing interest in walking now.

Also, as Daddy was laying on the carpet tonight, letting Andrea crawl over him, she PUSHED HERSELF UP TO STANDING, with no help. I don't think she even realized what she had done. She pushed herself up on her legs, then took one hand off Daddy's back, then the other . . . and voila! She stood and looked around for a few seconds before dropping onto her bum. I was so excited! She hasn't pulled herself up like that before.

(What's disappointing is this: I captured her moment of standing on video--then accidentally deleted it, while fiddling with the new camera. No fair! ;p)
