Walking!

Olivia apparently decided this afternoon that she should show us she knows how to walk. She has taken a few (maybe three?) steps occasionally before today. Most of those were to cover the two feet between the coffee table and the couch.

Today, she walked about 7 steps from the kitchen island to the middle of the floor, then sat down. A few minutes later, Zach (who had alerted us to her first traverse) shouted again, "She's walking!" There she was, another few feet of open floor covered before she sat. We cheered and cheered.

At that point, we stood about 15 feet apart and stood her up to walk across the room, and she did! So cute, with the little lunge for Mommy or Daddy in the last couple of steps, but mostly on her own.

Big girl!

(Of course the video camera did not cooperate when we wanted to capture this milestone, but I did get some footage on the point-and-shoot's video. I'll see if we can get 'er up here.)
