Ruby is WALKING.
One week past her first birthday, and she took her first proper steps. She had been taking the odd step here or there but falling straight over. However, this weekend at the Grove Park World Music Festival, she stood up and took four tentative steps forwards. Then she stopped, looked around almost to see who was watching, and then took three more, before toppling over.
In the few days since, there has been no stopping her. She still stumbles lots, and reminds me of Bambi more than just a little bit. Its amazing to watch as she plants her feet, pushes herself up and then stumbles forwards. Her momentum just takes her forwards, and her top half is usually a little bit faster than her bottom half, but she is getting steadier by the day.
I would say that of all the milestones met, this is the one which made my heart beat just a little bit faster than all the others with pride! Now.... as we have a few weddings to go to in the upcoming months, its time to work on her dance moves.....
