Baby Steps

Eleanor has finally made some progress in the walking department. Yes she's nearly 15 months old and still crawls like a mad woman, but this past weekend she kept testing her standing abilities and then yesterday she took a few steps. Whoo Hoo! This is something that Joe and I have been trying to get her interested in for months now, all the while she'd look at us like, "Hey guys, I'll do it when I do it, ALRIGHT?!"
I have her attempts on video and was going to post it, but of course my crazy Vista won't allow me to download from my Sony Handycam. (oh the headaches) So I'm waiting until I get a bit more video of her actually walking and then I'll put it together in a little movie clip.
It's the funniest thing to watch. I don't think she's that interested in walking. I think she'd much rather just start running. She carefully gets herself up off the floor by putting her hands on the floor and her rear in the air. Then she lifts the hands into the air with a big grin on the face, then...blast off! Well, like I said, she's only made it a few steps, but they were quick ones and we are lucky she hasn't gone head first into any furniture yet.
