She did it! Alyssa took her first steps all by herself today! No hanging on to anything! Okay, she only took 3 1/2 of them before she landed on her bum, but it still counts!
She still doesn't crawl well, or even roll over, unless absolutely necessary. But she really likes standing, and now taking those baby steps. We went to my parents' house today, and she was showing her grandma how well she can stand. Then I called Alyssa's name, and she took a few steps to come to me!

I squealed and scared her, and she plopped on her bum.
My parents caught it on their video camera, but I have to figure out how to download it from theirs. I don't have the right cables with me... grr.
She's been doing it all day, just two or three steps at a time, and then she gets tired, but she's getting steadier.
I'm sooo proud!!!!
