First Step
Disclaimer: I don't own anything
Excluding her first word Adella was a very advanced baby, always developing a bit faster than most. So it really shouldn't have surprised me when she took her first steps so early, not even a week after her first word.
She'd been getting around the apartment for awhile now just by hanging on the furniture, but she seemed reluctant to take those first unassisted steps. I had no doubts in my mind she was able to; it wouldn't surprise me if she had and was just messing with really, she was a smart kid. Plus, I'd see her stand up on her two feet without any help and I swear she'd look around, see me and sit back down again only to crawl to the nearest piece of furniture and get around that way, this kid is going to drive me crazy I can just tell already.
"El, snack time." I told her sweeping her up onto my hip taking her to a highchair in the corner. "Orange or yellow?" I ask her holding up a jar each of carrot and apple sauce baby food.
"Lo-lo! Lo-lo!" she says kicking her feet back and forth rattling the tray. I quickly unscrew the apple sauce's lid and get a spoon out before she throws another tantrum; they're incredibly short but the damage to my ear drums is so not worth it. After she gobbles the food down so fast you'd think I was starving her, I wipe her mouth and set her on her feet, where she grabs hold of the chair's leg and grins up at me.
Rolling my eyes and smirking slightly I turn to wipe off the tray when I see a movement out of my periphery vision. And turn slightly to see Adella taking two short measured steps before glancing back at me, locking eyes with me and dropping to the floor. I playfully glare at her "Adella did you just walk?" she shakes her head vigorously and takes off crawling down the hallway to her room. I sigh and return to cleaning up the snack mess, ugh cleaning the mundie way is annoying; but it's better than having Adella blow up my toaster again.
