Even though I've seen two previous children learn how to do it, it never ceases to amaze me how a BABY can go from laying there essentially motionless, to arm and leg flailing, then flailing with purpose, then rolling, sitting, standing, stepping, and actually walking! She started taking steps a little after 11 months old, and now, at just shy of 1 year, she is sturdy as an ox (ok, maybe not quite yet, but she walks more than anything else).
Next thing I know, she'll be buying a prom dress and asking for the car keys.
For now, I will count it as a small victory when I can keep socks and shoes on the girl :)
