Yes I admit it, I now join the roster of boasting proud parents but this is a BIG deal!
Today at 10.5 months old our little girl walked for the first time! She took 6 consecutive steps in a row by herself and then repeated the feat back and forth between Mummy and Daddy. It was very exciting and of course, Mummy shed a few tears. Our baby is growing up!
For a few days now, she's been standing for longer periods on her own and then she'd take one or two steps between a table and the couch and we weren't sure this counted as her first official steps yet. But today she let go of the table and off she went. She was so very proud of herself, big smile and she got lots of kisses, hugs and praise. Daddy filmed it with his cell phone, which isn't admittedly the best quality but at least we captured it. Bad bad Mummy and Daddy for having put off buying the new camera with video. Must do this tomorrow.
And now comes the fun part - it's already been interesting trying to keep up with her feats of climbing lately and her turbo crawl but now she'll really be mobile!
Lookout world, Ashiah Phoenix is on the move and we'll be behind her all the way!

Congratulations Ashiah! The whole World is your playground now.
Sam, I know what you mean about being emotional about our little ones growing up. Marcus turned 1 on the 31st and I shed a tear too.
Hip Hip Hooray!
I remember Cecily's first steps (like they were yesterday)and life just gets better and better. Great news...hugs and back pats all around...
Love,
Katie, Bob and Cecily
Now on to potty training, looking both ways, tying the shoes, learning to swim, etc., etc. For the 2nd, 3rd and so on there will be fewer tears of delight and more sighs of relief.
Far from worrying about no comments, you should be contemplating publication!!!! You are writing in an area which has become a publishing (and filmmaking) sweetspot in the past few years.

Way to go! So proud of our beautiful niece!!
