She did it! Aspen took her first steps tonight! We've been joking for a while that she could walk if she wanted to, she just doesn't have the confidence. Whenever you let go of her hands, Aspen sits down in a very controlled squat. She just hasn't been interested in attempting it unsupported.
Well, tonight when daddy came home she was a) super excited to see him b) on soft carpet upstairs and c) holding a spatula, which in hindsight we think might have given her the impression she was holding on to someone's finger. Whatever the case, she excitedly took three very real steps to get to daddy, before realizing she wasn't holding on to anything, but by then she had gotten to her destination. We were able to get her to repeat it a couple more times, only with one or two steps. Hopefully we can try it out tomorrow again, and get photographic evidence! But let the annals show: Aspen started walking at 10 months old!
