Bi-ped

My little fledgling is becoming a bi-ped. It has been fascinating to watch the progress of Avery's prowess (i just learned this word, it means superior ability or skill). I have decided that she has her mommy's prowess and her daddy's intellect. Together we make the perfect baby. First, a few months ago Avery pulled herself up to stand; then the cruising began, as she scaled along the side of the sofa to the coffee table to between my legs until she arrived at her destination: upright, but hanging on tight. She just delighted in her ability to find a finger hold on all manner of vertical surfaces. then last week she bravely (or inadvertently) let go of her grip and found herself balancing on her own two feet. Then one day (today) she worked up to here first tentative step; sadly I wasn't there to witness the miraculous event. I work two days a week if that, and I happened to miss the most important milestone in my fledglings life. I am so bummed. However, a few days ago she let go of the coffee table and took two steps or more accurately fell into my arms, so technically I could count that as her first step. Either way we are the proud parents of a toddling toddler. Wow time has gone by so fast. I think I'm ready for another. Ha Ha just kidding. no really I'm serious.

We need some birthday pictures! And I'm sure your bi-ped is full on walking around the house like she owns the place... any more face plants? Hope not!
