Willa Walks

Willa decided to start walking on her own today. This came after roughly 7 months of "assisted" walking. Lately, her grip on our fingers had loosened so we knew that she was starting to find her own balance. Today, we took a family walk to Franklin Square and upon entering the childrens play area we put her down on her feet and she took about 7 or 8 steps toward the slide and grabbed on! She did this several more times taking at times up to 20 steps before stumbling.

Later we visited our own Seger park across the street and her walking continued with more confidence and a greater sense of balance. Then, tonight we captured this video. She still split between crawling and walking obviously, but she knows how to walk and can walk at this point.

We're so proud.
