Walk this Way!

LM took some steps today! If we're being honest here (and when am I not?!?!?), I wouldn't count them as "her first steps" or anything, but she did it so I'm going to put it on record.

We hit the park after supper because BigM took a nap, which means she won't fall asleep until after 10pm. (I've just given up that she's going to have a quiet time, and instead, we lay in my bed together and watch a movie on the portable DVD player while LM naps.) While BigM was swinging, DM was encouraging LM to walk behind her adorable push-car walker thing. She didn't think that was very fun, so he started helping her take steps by holding her hands. Then he let go of one hand and helped her take a few steps that way. Then he slowly let go of the other hand and... she walked three steps all by herself before she realized what she was doing. She immediately sat down, looked up at DM as if to say, "You traitor!" and burst into tears.

It was hilarious.

I am thoroughly convinced she can walk, she just doesn't realize it and she will probably prefer to crawl forever. Which is fine with me, I can keep up with her right now. When she starts walking, my life as I know it will officially be over.
