Independence!

Elizabeth celebrated Independence Day by showing her own independence -- she took her first unassisted steps!

Since then she has been standing and walking whenever she can. She can stand up wherever she is without holding on to something. With 2 weeks of practice under her belt, Elizabeth will usually now take 6-12 steps before falling.


She gets so excited while walking, which often causes her to lose her balance. But then once on the ground, she will smile and clap!

She has also discovered a new trick -- the boys always comment that she must like yoga :)
Here is video of her in action . . .
sorry that I am technically challenged . . . you'll have to turn your head to the side to watch, and now I know to hold the camera horizontally from now on when I use it to take video!
