First steps

8th September 2009

Posted in: Blog: Life with Lucy & Alice, news from the change table, videos

Yesterday afternoon Alice let go of my hands and took two wobbly, newborn deer steps toward Eric. We wrote it off because she kinda fell forward, and pshaw — the kid’s barely 10 months old.

This morning she let go of the upstairs bathroom vanity and took two not-so-wobbly steps across the tile, hands straight up in the air, big ass goofy grin on her face.

We can’t be surprised, considering she was RUNNING with a resin table at the cottage two weeks ago:

I give it two weeks ’till she’s scampering after Lucy. And my baby days will officially be over forever.

    Oh, Carly. They are our babies until they can tell you, in English, to stop calling them our babies. They just become our babies who can get into exponentially more dangerous situations and pretend they can’t understand you when you try to get them in trouble for it.

    Happy Birthday, Kelly!

    I’m pretty sure I took my first steps on my first birthday, too. That would be not as many years ago as you ;)

    I completely agree with you, DoodlesMom. Just don’t tell Eirinn. She was always Baby Eirinn, even to herself. As soon as she learned to go potty at 2, she re-christened herself Big Girl Eirinn. Even today, when anyone asks her her name, she tells them “Big Girl Eirinn.”
