Dear Reese,
You are thirteen months old today. It is the first 17th I haven’t pulled out the milestone floor mat and taken your picture.
But today is the day you took your first step. Just a little one. At the cottage after dinner, you stood up while we FaceTimed with Kai and your Aunt Amanda. I had the video pointed at you when I asked you to come to me, and you took that little step. One foot, two foot, and then sat down.
Coincidentally, your cousin Morgan took her first step in that same place three summers ago.
I think you’ll gain the confidence soon enough. Right now, you love pushing anything and everything around as a walker. Chairs and bins. You’ve also decided you don’t want to crawl up stairs, but walk. You hold my hands and take one giant step at a time.
Love,
Mama
