Baby Steps


Avery stood by herself for the first time on the 24th of May and took her first big girl steps yesterday. She took five steps from the ottoman to the couch all by herself and then did it again a few minutes later. She is still crawling as her main mode of transportation, but she now has enough confidence to take the first few steps that make her unfortunately more mobile.

I was much more excited about this with Miles, because I didn't know any better. But this time around, I know what kind of a challenge it is going to be. Avery is a tough cookie and definitely does what she wants to "only" when she wants, so there is no stopping her now. She is already developing a pint size attitude. It is adorably cute when she screeches and screams when she doesn't get her way, but we are brewing a terrible habit by doing things to upset her just for a laugh. It's just so funny to see an 8 1/2 month old have so much personality, know exactly what she wants and know how to get it. We are going to be IN FOR IT!!!
