More firsts...including first steps!

Anna has been making some great progress over the past few weeks, and she has achieved some fun milestones.  Here are some highlights:

A toothbrush finally made it into her mouth!  Unfortunately she stole Nate's toothbrush, but he was kind enough to let her have it.  And it has music with it, which makes it extra cool.

She is starting to put things in her mouth, which is a big step for her.  She has been very reluctant to explore this way, so thankfully she is making progress in this area (she is chewing on a baby-safe necklace, I might add)

While she is still reluctant to eat any food besides baby food, her SLP has been able to sneak in a fruit roll-up!  She and the boys will certainly appreciate all the same junk food together.  Good thing we're working on using a toothbrush.

She is standing independently for long periods of time now.  As noted in this picture, she has developed a strong affinity for glasses.  Thankfully mr. potato head glasses have been found and are her comfort toy - she carries them everywhere!  And don't even think about picking her up if you have glasses on...she will snatch them off your face!

She made it down the aisle as a little flower girl at my brothers wedding, escorted by her 3 brothers and cousin, without screaming!  

And the big news - she took her first steps tonight!  My PT goal was for her to take independent steps by her 2nd birthday, so we met the goal with a month to spare.
