Naomi's Grams, along with her creative juices, came up with "walking sticks" for Naomi to use around the house to improve her balance and save our backs. We hold onto the tops and she holds onto the bottoms.
Well, it has paid off. Naomi took her first steps tonight!!! She is 10 months and 3 weeks old. My friend Beth and I were sitting on the floor trying to encourage her to walk to us and she took the bait. She got so excited and was pretty sloppy at first, but soon got the hang of it. She started out with 3 steps...4 steps...7 steps...then half way across the room. At one point she even stopped, clapped her hands and then took off again!!! I can't believe how BiG she is and as excited as I am now, I'm sure a month from now I'm going to be regretting it a tiny bit :)
Brad caught quite a bit on video, but we don't have the ability to upload it at this time. If/when we figure that out, we will post the video.
