Walking

So baby Katerina has been walking since last Saturday April 23rd, exactly 10 1/2 months after being born. In the week since she has started walking she has improved greatly and now bends over or squats to pick things up as she is walking instead of just plopping down to the sitting position to pick something up. She also really wants to walk up our two steps instead of crawl and I have caught her a few times placing a foot on the step instead of her knee. Sometimes she will ask for my hand and then she practically runs, normally trying to catch her brother.
