It's no April Fool's...Pace is walking!




After several weeks of teasing us with a step or two here or there, Pace is finally walking. Rather it is more of a stumble, but it is multiple and consecutive steps. She woke up this morning and decided today is the day. She took about six steps this morning and then by this afternoon took about twenty uninterrupted without a fall! She still needs a few more days of practice before we call her a professional, but she is well on her way. Capturing the big event on video is a whole different story, but I was able to get this one clip. This is not her best effort of the day, but it is evidence that she is definitely making progress. She had been doing a lot of practice all day by the time I got this video so she does take a few tumbles. However, she gets right up and keeps going. Crawling is still her preferred method of transportation, but another week or so and I think she will be up and running (literally). She is quite proud of her progress and often pauses to give herself a round of applause. Enjoy the video and I will try and capture more steps in the next few days!
