Ava has been cruising the furniture for some time now, and recently (in the last week or so) she has started to stand up from the floor.
So, yesterday I decided to try to get her to take a few steps without holding my hands. To my surprise, she did it :) She ended up taking about 4-5 last night to Ellie, but whenever I brought out the camera...plop, right onto her bottom, then she'd crawl over to me to try to get the camera from my hands, silly girl!
She is not ready to walk alone yet, but seeing her first little steps was so exciting to us. The big kids were cheering her on, so much so that she decided to just stand in one place and dance for them instead :)
She loves to dance these days, and will "shake her booty" whenever she hears music playing. It is really very cute, and gives the kids one more thing to enjoy about her. They like to turn on their radios and get crazy & now little Aves is joining in on the craziness with them. She will crawl into her room and pull up on the bottom drawer (that her big sister NEVER closes) and stand there and wiggle and shake it. I love to watch them having fun together :) Such a wonderful sight! Today since I could not get her to walk on video, I decided to take a short little clip of her doing her thing. This was taken on my camera, so once again, forgive the horrible quality of it...
Aw. She's growing up so fast!
