Katie's First Steps

She was so excited to see Grandma M come home from her big trip. Grandma came by for a quick visit this morning and Katie did her knee-walk to her with open, pleading arms. During the visit, Katie broke her existing record of 1 consecutive step to take 3 steps.

Grandma was holding Katie's hands and R said, "Walk to me." and then Katie let go of Grandma's fingers and just stood there for second. Normally, her instinct would be to drop to her knees for safety, but this time she stepped towards R's outstretched hands. They tried it again a few times and Katie got up to 3 steps before she got tired of it and retreated back to the comfort of her knees.

I just love the goggles ! What a fashion accessory ! Maybe they help a little with the balance needed in learning to walk. Way to go, Katie !
