Baby’s first steps

amomentwithfranca · 7 June 2015 · 10 Comments

This is a very special moment for me as it shows a huge milestone for my little baby Sienna. I have been watching her closely and I realised that she was standing up for a longer time lately which means that her legs are getting stronger and therefore ready to start walking.

Sienna's first steps

I wasn’t very sure if this was going to happen this weekend but I was sure that it was going to happen very soon. My eldest daughter, Bella had her first steps when she was 10.5 months and I thought that it was pretty early. For that reason, I was more aware that this milestone could happen soon for Sienna as she will be 10 months next week.

Anyway, cutting a long story short, today we were having a family moment at home after being out all afternoon. We were playing in the living room and I gave Sienna my necklace. For some reason, she felt very safe when holding the necklace and was able to stand up for a fair amount of time so I thought that she might start doing something sooner than expected. In this particular moment, I turned towards Nick and I winked at him and he got it straight away and took his iPhone out to start filming her. Shortly after, Sienna took her first steps! Isn’t it wonderful! Not only we were able to enjoy that special moment but we were also lucky enough to film it!

I thought this was so incredibly brilliant that I had to do a screenshot of the video (that is why the photo is a little bit blurry but I will post the video later) and share it with you guys! I can now say that Sienna had her first steps at 9 months! Amazing, right? We are so happy about that. We still can’t believe it.

What about you guys, at which age did your kids take their first steps?

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤

Franca  💋

    Aw those are fantastic moments and so early too!! Mine didn’t start crawling til 9.5 months but then she walked within 6 weeks of starting to crawl! was quite a shock going from having a baby that didn’t move to one that was walking around…. quickly had to toddler proof. Great that you captured it on camera 🙂

      Thank you lovely! Something similar also happened to my eldest. She crawled at 9 months but started walking at 10.5 months so it was a shock for me too. Thanks for stopping by, xx

    Lovely to have captured it. My daughter took her first steps this week. She’s been wary to do it since lol but I’m so glad I managed to capture that special moment too.

✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling b ✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling breakfast, right? I have been trying to keep eating a good breakfast every morning to help me with my low iron! .Most days I have branflakes and sometimes weetabix but Fridays to Sundays, I make a little effort and prepare overnight oats. I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. It is so good! 😋 I vary the fruit that I put in but everything else is the same..What do you like eating for breakfast?.#overnightoats #oatsforbreakfast #easybreakfast #simplebreakfast #togobreakfast #quickbreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #breakfastinspo #breakfastbowl #breakfastgoals #breakfastlover #oatmealbowl #breakfastclub #oatmealbowl
✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So ✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So we have our first teacher’s strike day today which means no school and learning from home..Bella is doing her school work via Google classroom so she will follow her normal school day that way and Sienna doesn’t have a structured day from school today so she should have a day off but we have agreed for her to do some work too, so she will be reading, practicing for her spelling test and doing some maths. This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today? What are your plans? .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #sisterhood #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #westfield #westfieldlondon #londonkids
✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome

She is the No 1 fan of Matilda. She knows all the songs and dances so she was over the moon to watch it in person. Apparently, she would love one day to be in that stage too! Bless her! 🥰.Even though I have seen it before, each time has brought a different experience for me as they change/rotate the cast often so it feels like a new show watching a new Matilda each time.
