We're walking now!

She has been working towards this day for weeks. Today she took her first real steps. She would get on her rocking chair, step off, walk a few steps, and then fall down. The rocking chair she was getting her head start from is the same rocking chair I started walking from on my first birthday. I guess it is a good starting point for walking. She did this about five times in a row and then moved on to a standing up from a crawling position and then taking a few steps. It was very exciting. Soon she will be running around the house!

You can see some video of Ella walking below. It is a little long (I haven't learned how to edit the video yet), but worth watching. These were not her first steps but you can see how she did it.
