Svet Took Four Steps Today :)

Yep. A Svetlana milestone. We were eating breakfast today when I got up to get her glass of water and she suddenly got up too (yes, we were eating on the floor). I thought she was just gonna do the usual. Stand up and wait for me to get back to her. But she had other plans today. When I turned around to face her, she took a step. Her VERY first step. She was wobbly, and in fact almost landed flat on her face after that first step, but seeing her took her first step ON HER OWN was enough to make my day.

Encouraged, I let her try again after eating. This time she took two steps, and was able to keep her stance. However, upon seeing that I was near, she immediately did one of her free falling antics. She knew I was there to catch her, so she let herself fall forward. It was hard to make her walk after that, but later in the afternoon, she did it again. This time she took four steps. Then again she saw me, this time behind her, and did a Nestea dive (ya know, the free falling backward dive on the Nestea commercial). Any other day I would playfully scold her for doing that, but I was too happy about her new milestone that I hugged her instead.

I know it's crazy. Being proud and all when every other baby in the world comes to that point in time also. It's not as if she is the only one who has managed to do that. But it's a mom's pride. And you can't argue with a mom being proud about her kid. Last time somebody pointed that out to me as if it was a bad thing, got booted out of LinkReferral. So don't you dare cross me when I am having this "mommy moment". Hee hee. Kidding. Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of her taken lately (wish granted, Pehpot. Hehe). No, not of her walking today. I was too excited to grab the camera when that monumental event in our life was happening.



Sticker on her forehead came from my crazy sister's newly bought slippers.

More stickers where it's not supposed to be.

Kiss!
