So Sweet

Lila has recently been branching out and taking a few steps here and there, which we're glad to finally see.

This morning Lila pulled herself up to standing using a chair, while Violet came up to her to stand a few feet away.  Lila stepped away from the chair toward Violet, with her arms reaching out wide.  Two of Lila's Frankenstein steps later she stood belly to belly with Violet.  She put those arms around Violet and nuzzled her head into her neck.

I sat there and watched my two girls share a sweet hug, which Lila walked to get to.  Excellent.

Lila took some steps today, three or four stiff-legged Frankenstein steps before plopping to her butt.  The exciting thing to see was that she seems to actually want to walk, which was a new wrinkle.  She had never seemed interested.  When she wanted to get somewhere, she would just crawl, which she did extremely well.  But, for the first time she looked like "Hey, this walking thing can get me there."
