walkin'

Ava is getting so good at walking! She has recently been standing on her own and she can even bend down to get something without holding on to anything, then she can stand back up on her own. She won't take a step on her own, though - without either holding one finger of ours (which is new because she before had to have both hands) or she has just now figured out how to use a push toy. It's hillarious! Ellie didn't walk until she was 13 months old...Ava will be 9 months Saturday and although she's not walking on her own yet, she's awfully close! Ellie loves to help her by helping her stand, then letting Ava hold her fingers and walking with her. We are so blessed that they enjoy each other so much already!
