this little person... took her first steps




 





// this was from a few weeks ago.  please excuse the poor quality video!  //

we had a big day in this little house yesterday; although Ava has been pushing around her walker for a few weeks now {see video above for one of her first attempts}, yesterday she took her first unaided steps.  TWO WHOLE STEPS!!!

i've said it before and i'll say it again: they grow up SO FAST!  and every new skill mastered is so bitter sweet for me.  this little person seems so determined to do everything early too.  i realise that i don't have long at all now before she is literally running around the house.

so i didn't get her first steps on camera but i did get some photos of her busy in her nursery yesterday.  she is not the sort of baby to just sit, she must be busy busy busy at all times.  love that busy baby.

  1. Congratulations Mum and Ava!! How exciting, I got a little teary eyed watching the video too! It's amazing how quickly these little people grow! My Fiona is 9 months, she is pulling up onto furniture at the moment.

  2. well done Ava!! Mum you must be super proud! Caleb has that walker too but he's more interested in the front of it than to use it for walking!! I know what you mean about it all being bittersweet, i'm desperate for him to walk so he can stop being so frustrated but at the same time happy for him to stay my little baby that little bit longer.

  5. Rio's the same with his walker now, just acts like a pro! Yay for the first steps. Rio did his and then realised and sat down. He's lacking confidence at the minute but we'll get there :) I always say it but i do envy your photo skills!

  7. Certainly an amazing moment!! What a beautiful baby...you're blessed! Our youngest is 10 weeks and my older children are always wondering what she'll be like when she's one...they can't believe she'll start walking around then! Their growth and development is truly miraculous.

    Here's my moment (I'm visiting from Soulemama's blog):

  12. that's so exciting! What a great moment. Popping over from Soulemama. I have a little one too who's just begun to scoot around on her tummy. I'm sure walking won't be too far away for us.
