First steps, ish!
Today Vivienne has been standing on her own a lot more, by her own choice. Previously, I’d put her in a stand and if she was distracted by something, she’d hold it there for a few moments. Once she realized she had just been standing there with nothing holding her up, she’d often sit down. Probably thought, “I’m just a baby!”
More likely, she didn’t want to fall down and get a bonk.
But today at a playdate (!), she stood a lot more while holding a toy with two hands so she could get a better look.
Tonight, she took 5-6 steps toward Shane. Yay!
She has taken a half or two steps before but it was not really intentional. I think she still prefers crawling because it’s so much faster and less dangerous for her, but I’m glad she is taking some steps.
She is 9 days away from being 11 months old, so this is roughly the same age that Johnny started to walk. I think he has her beat by a week or two. That’s ok, Vivie — just get potty-trained way sooner and we’ll call it fair. K? kthx.
Also in Vivie news, she likes to wave “hi” and sorta says it. If I say “hi!” she starts waving. It’s entertaining.
I know some people love the newborn stage, but truthfully that stage kicks my butt. I really enjoy toddlers. Keep it coming, baby girl!

I hear you on the newborn stage. I’m just newly pregnant with my second and I’m already dreading going through the newborn stage again.
