This last Friday Avery "officially" started walking! Although she has been taking long strides and random steps here and there, it wasn't until Friday that she truly found her feet and her confidence. Walking no longer became a unpredictable challenge. Instead, it became her chosen mode of transportation.
I have been watching her in awe. She is now my little person and I think I love her even more than I already had. I'm learning quickly that I find more happiness in watching her evolve than I ever anticipated. In the beginning, I wanted to freeze time and keep her little (and of course I still do in a way) but I had no idea how magical all of these milestones would be!
Of course each stage brings it's own challenge but that's okay - that's what makes it worth it. It's is the best kind of "hard work" I've ever known.
This new found independence of hers melts my heart in the most bitter sweet way.
I love this little girl...this little person so very much.
