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.

    ✨First Week in Torrevieja✨ ☀️🏖️.Our ✨First Week in Torrevieja✨ ☀️🏖️.Our first week in Torrevieja was a mix of unexpected moments and relaxation. Sienna’s 9th birthday took an unexpected turn when she cut her thumb, and we spent some time in the ER getting a single stitch. 😢 But she’s a trooper and handled it like a champ..Despite this, we still managed at the start of that first week to soak up some sun, enjoy the pool, watch beautiful sunsets, and take in the incredible views. Evenings by the pool became our thing, creating lasting memories and a sense of calm. It wasn’t the week we had planned, but it turned out to be a week of quality family time and unwinding. ☀️🏖️.Swipe left to see our first week in pictures, and if you keep checking until the last photo, you can see Sienna’s stitch.
