First Steps

The little Peep has been pulling herself up and coasting from object to object at day care and at home. Around the house, she's taken to moving the bar stools from our kitchen island around. But today she finally let go of all that and took her first step toward mobile independence. Carl and I were in the middle of a heated argument about nothing important, and Emma, sensing our attention wasn't on her for a whole couple of seconds, did what she could to redirect us - she walked from me to Carl.

Then for good measure - and to ensure neither of us would ever remember what it was we were arguing about - she made sure she had our undivided attention and walked from Carl back to me.

The kid's got impeccable timing.
