We knew it would only be a short matter of time before Olivia took off walking, and tonight, it happened!
Olivia has always had really good balance and pushes boxes and her walker so quickly she is practically running. She could stand for a long time unassisted but would just bend down and start crawling. Once she figured out how to bend her knee, we knew she wouldn't just take a step or two but she would take off. And take off she did!
We were getting them ready for their baths and I was bending her knees showing her how to move. For the first time, she bent her knee on her own. I told Dan to grab the video camera because she was about to walk. She balanced herself, and took about 10 steps towards me. Then I turned her around and she walked to Dan. Olive was so proud of herself, and of course we cheered and cheered!
Here is some video we took today of Olivia's newfound skills. Luke is taking 4-5 steps at a time, and once his balance gets just a little better, they will be chasing each other around in no time!
