She takes her first step...

...well sort of.

Yesterday I was helping her stand, holding her lightly around the waist to help her balance. All of a sudden she very deliberately took a step forward with her right foot, shifted her weight onto her right foot and brought the left foot forward. From the way she moved her body I'm pretty sure it was deliberate. Of course I couldn't get her to do it again (she just loves teasing us like that).

She had a very good day developmentally yesterday. She did a lot of supported standing. She sat in her bumbo chair for a half hour, which is far longer than she has ever lasted. While sitting she bent over to pick up a toy at her feet then straightened back up. She did some rocking in a crawling position. I had to support her chest, but usually when I try and put her in the crawling position she just lunges forward until she's on her belly. She did some good floor sitting and rolling and was really active all day.
