Fidget was 47 weeks old today, and took her first steps on her own!!She had just extracted the monkey-ball game box from the shelf and then turned and took 3 steps to arrive at Daddy!

I was at work and was increadibly excited when I heard the news, but feared that I would not get to see the walking. I got home and could tell that she was so much more stable when walking round, she was just holding one of my fingers and really not needing much support from it. Just before bath time she was holding onto her book (and we think that gave her the comfort she needed - to be holding onto something), when she stepped away from M, to walk to me! We then did it a few more times to get a video clip. She really seemed to enjoy it, probably due to all the cheering!

You may notice from that video, just how long my hair has grown, well no longer. After Fidget went to bed, I headed off to the hairdresser. I felt it was time for a change, and for a style that would offer Fidget less opportunity to pull it and get her little fingers tangled up in it all the time!
