What a nice Father's Day present - Violet finally took some steps today! She's been *so close* for over a month now - walking holding on to the furniture or our hand, even taking one tentative step here and there - but we were beginning to think she wouldn't be walking on her own until the fall. It might still be a while before she'll walk without us goading her on. But that's okay; now that we know she *can* walk, we can relax and let her crawl around some more so she's easier to keep track of.
