First Steps

Apparently all it took was for Scott to go out of town for work for Ava to take her first steps. On Monday, Ava walked. As Mo(m) said, it took a second to register that Ava had in fact walked without holding onto something. By the time Scott was back, she was definitely getting more bold – letting go of things to stand and to take a few steps – even managing to hold onto her toys (usually in her mouth) as she took a few quick steps.

Here’s a video of her (briefly) walking.

Ava has also decided that she likes to do pullups. Here she is (with some light assistance) on the pullup bar.

Ava does love her books. Here she is reading one of her (and Dad’s) favorites on trains.

Ava is also getting more proficient at signing. She now does the sign for “milk” and for “more” – below is the “more” sign. 

Stay tuned for “more” of Ava and her walking escapades….
