Walking

Aria took six steps today. I think we will call that her first official walking.

She was standing over by the playpen fence near the kitchen. Hosanna was at the kitchen table watching through the doorway, and I was at the other end of the living room on the couch. I had dropped to all fours as if to crawl after her. But instead of crawling off, she tottered over in my direction. We just held our breath, watched, and counted her steps.

She didn't repeat the performance after that, but it was enough. End of an era.
