Mel took her first independent steps a few Weeks ago (while we were on Skype with my ILs so it was extra awesome!) And hardly suits more than one step here and there ever since.
Yesterday we went to Rhett park and she practiced a lot holding my hands. Well, we got home and she was don't a bunch of steps like it was nothing and was so pleased with herself! She is showing more interest and trying so much today to walk. Yay baby! My dream of going to meet mil in the airport and having her granddaughter toddle over to her might happen, even if we're holding her hands
Oh and I found out the Yiddish phrase my great grandma has been singing to Mel is "alone, alone, a little girl walks." She actually answered in a moment of clarity last week
