First Steps!

Mireya took her first steps last night! She has been walking around while holding onto our hands for ages. She had even gotten to the point of holding tight to just one finger. Until yesterday, she just couldn't quite seem to find the courage to venture off on her own. It's obvious that she is still afraid of falling, but at least she's finally trying.
