Walking!

Well, at one year and two weeks old, Mya started taking her first steps. At first it was only 2 or 3 at a time. That lasted for about a week.(For the record and for her knowledge when she reads this later on in life, she started "cruising" around the furniture and walls at about 10 months old.) Our friends, Dave and Jenna then gave Mya a Lady Bug toy, which quickly progressed the walking. It's a toy that has wheels on it and it is meant for a child to sit on and push around with their feet. Mya, however, thought it was great to push around while standing, as she is too small to sit on it and reach the ground. She started zooming around everywhere with the Lady Bug, going until she hit whatever was in her way. She would then swing it around and keep on going. This activity kept her busy for hours. It also became another way that Mya could torture the Kitty. Mya thought and still thinks it is fun to chase the kitty around the house with the lady bug. Poor Kitty. So while pushing around the Lady Bug, Mya quickly went from 2 to 3 steps to 5 or 6 steps and then just like that she was walking more than crawling... Today she is currently walking everywhere and even bends down and picks things up easily. I have almost forgotten what it was like for her to crawl.
This is just another example of how fast time goes by and how fast our little ones grow up. Although I am enjoying watching her toddle around everywhere it also makes me a little sad. Our little baby is growing up.
