Nina took her first steps this weekend. She was holding onto the refrigerator, playing with her magnetic letters, when she suddenly started taking steps away from it. They were teeny, tiny steps. She took about four and then fell on her bottom. She did this several more times that day. Today she seemed a little less inclined to walk without support, but was doing lots of cruising between the coffee table, the chair and the sofa. Dad and Grandma have both seen her walking, so I’m not the only witness.

I don’t have it documented on video, since we’d left our recorder at a friend’s house and just got it back this afternoon. I tried to get her to take some steps for the camera, but she was more interested in trying to open the kitchen cabinets. Nina has also learned how to open drawers, if they’re low enough for her. We MUST babyproof. Although we keep a very close eye on her, so I don’t think she’ll get into anything. We’ve been putting it off, thinking that we will move soon. Although that looks like it may still be a few months away.

I’ll try to capture video of Nina walking soon!
