First Steps!

We've waited a long time for this! Gwyneth has finally taken her first few steps by herself! They're still very shaky, and it will probably be a while longer before she's really able to walk, but we're very excited!!! We shot the two videos below with my phone tonight before bed!

YAY Gwyneth! That's so exciting! You have definitely waited a long time for this, and I know how thrilled you both must be feeling right now! (Lily was 3 when she took her first steps...3-1/2 before she was really walking.)

I needed this today. I needed to see a miracle. I needed to see something that I prayed for come to fruition. Thank you for sharing this.

WOW!! FANTASTIC!! Our almost 22 month old, born at 40 weeks, 1 day only started walking a month ago? Started off shakey, and now she won't stop. Gwyneth is walking sooner than she :) CONGRATS!! They all do it in their own time....

Much love and congrats!

That is so amazing! I love it! I don't comment much but have read your story from the beginning! Your family is an inspiration! I'm a NICU nurse and a NICU mom...although my NICU baby is now 11. It's a rewarding journey as a nurse and a mom. Enjoy YOUR journey!!
