She Walks!

She finally gave in. Savannah has been standing sturdy as can be for months! Literally. She has even taken several steps on ocassion. But in classic Savannah style she has tried hard to keep this a secret from us all. She's only done it when she thinks we're not looking or not paying attention.

Well a few weeks ago she caved. We gave her a phone in each hand and then dangled a third in front of her as enticement... She very slowly, very diliberatly walked several feet to get the phone. And then she kept going back and forth and back and forth.

Since then she has branched out and will stand up and walk to other non-prompted things. For example today I was sitting on the floor in the middle of her room folding laundry and she stood up near the door walked over to me, grabbed a shirt from my pile walked over to her closet and started pulling on a hanger! Cute!

The funny thing about her walk though is that it is not fast, it's not tipsy or wobbly. She has very good posture with her arm hanging at her side and she slowly and deliberately walks. The only way you can properly apreciate the cute funniness of it is to see it. So I guess you'll have to come visit! OK well maybe I'll post a video... right after I take one! Sigh.

But I'm so proud of her! I also can't believe that she's going to be turning one next week! How can my baby be one already? Crazy.
