Step one
On Thursday Katie took her first steps - hooray!! Well, not unaided, but without mummy or daddy helping. For a while now she has been moving around the furniture and she enjoys walking around in the bath holding on to the side, but this week we had solo movement. She has got one of those push along brick carts and so we showed her what to do.
To start with she just held on and crawled with it, giggling all the time. But then she started to stand up. This resulted in quite a few falls as the cart moved forward and she didn't! However, she very quickly got the hang of it and enjoys doing length after length of our living room. She gets rather frustrated when she gets to the end and bumps into the coffee table, but we quickly turn her around and off she goes again.
She loves it and always walks with a smile on her face. I say walk, it's more like a quick jog. I'm not really convinced she has much control over the speed to be honest, it seems she has two options - run quick or fall over! Either way - she is still having lots of fun!

Heeeey! Congratulations on the first steps. Next stop - running, jumping, dancing and climbing trees.
I think she'd like climbing trees - once she gets over walking on prickly grass - she's not keen on that at the moment!
Go Katie go, there's no speed limit in the living room. Gabe just pushes our ottoman around until he hits a couch or a wall - poor furniture!
Love Tasha & Gabe
