Elisabeth taking steps

Elisabeth took her first step yesterday, and possibly by accident. I have to coax her, or even trick her, to get her to stand alone. But she'll do it, for maybe 5 seconds, and controlled too. A few times she has stood up from a squat by herself. She LOVES to walk holding our hands, and even directs us where to go. When I do it, I usually let one hand go and make her walk one-handed, although she doesn't like to. (It's slower, you know!) I have to encourage her to walk more on her own. But she is doing great so far!! She is getting more and more steady, especially standing. I think she'll be walking by her birthday.
