Hazel took her first tentative, unsupported steps on Monday. She was free standing and holding a toy that she didn't want to put down and was just far enough away from me that she couldn't quite reach me. When she wanted to come to me, she looked down at the ground--obviously thinking about dropping the toy and crawling. And then she took two and a half wavering steps and plopped down in my lap, toy still in hand. She looked pretty excited about her accomplishment, but maybe that's me reading my own pride into her expression. She's had a few repeat performances, always just a few steps at a time, and never when Aaron is looking. (Though both grandmothers have seen her in action and can vouch for her brand new skill.)
