and the first one was....Georgia!

Shortly after her 1st birthday Georgia took her first unassisted steps. This video was shot on October 12, so she was about 13 months. Now at 15 months, she is running circles around her brothers! Ben and Dash are just now (at 15 months) making real progress at becoming independent walkers. I tried to get them fitted for shoes, but both of them scrunched up their toes so much neither myself or the shoe expert could get them to relax their feet enough to get a shoe on. They say barefoot is best, but not in Chicago winter! I guess we will have to revisit the idea of shoes for them later. Meanwhile Violet had picked out about 6 that she just had to have - not. She will have to curb her inner fashionista until she gets a j-o-b!
