Ava is walking

Ava took her first steps a few weeks back, but these past few days she has literally and figuratively taken the next step and can make it 4-5 feet on her own. Her preferred method is still crawling, but that phase will soon be ending. The other day she came walking to me, and it made me a little sad. It was evidence of the truth all parents know but at some level always struggle with: my baby girl is growing up.
