So, yesterday, while husband and I were at work (boo), Emma took her first "real" steps. She walked about 10 paces, then plopped herself back down on her tushie. She has been "cruising" for months (where she holds onto things and walks around), and toddling along while we hold her hands, but she has been really reluctant to walk on her own. She sometimes would take 2-3 tentative steps, look around, realize that she wasn't holding onto anything, then do a flying squirrel leap for the nearest solid object to hold onto. Sometimes, she would miss the object and fall.
My mom called me at work when Emma took her steps and I swear she sounded hysterical, laughing and jabbering at the same time. I thought she was going to say something along the lines of "HAHAHAHA, I have had it, and I am leaving!" - that is how exuberantly crazy she sounded. But, in the end, it was only proud grandma speak.

That's SO cool!!! And at least you'll always have the memory of your mom's excitement about it. And, the first time she does it in front of you, will be the REAL first steps she takes. :) At least that's how *I* would count it!
Did she get any pictures or video?
