And then it happened…
We were sitting around on Sunday watching the Redskins/Giants football game. Amelia was standing near the couch and decided she had to check out the red light next to the tv’s power button. And then it happened. She walked half way, paused, (then Ethan gasped “hey, hey, hey” and we realized what was going on) and she kept walking. It was about 12 steps. No hands.
The scene of the Big Event:
On the way to the Flynns on Friday night I told Ethan she was going to walk while we were there because she had a 2 year old and a 5 year old to follow around for 2 days. Saturday night we went to dinner and I took Fussy Amelia outside and all she wanted to do was walk and walk along the wall of Stony Point mall. And Ronan (a friend who came over on Sunday) saw Stella’s first walk too! It was meant to be. She really just decided she could let go, all of the sudden.

I saw two first walks in that basement. The irony will be when I am sitting down there and my daughter takes her first steps somewhere else… That is why we made sure she would hit walking age outside of football season.
