Good luck in London – my daughter and I are both rooting for you! — Raakhee Mirchandani (@Raakstar) July 7, 2018 When my daughter was a baby my daycare provider said they’d never tell me if she hit a milestone when I was at work. “It’s not her first anything until her momma sees it.” Amen. — TheBloggess (@TheBloggess) July 8, 2018 She will take more. You are a great mom, and a great example to your daughter. You don’t have to be perfect to be a great mom, just do your best, and that will be just what she needs. — Blair LM Kelley (@profblmkelley) July 7, 2018 You facilitated those first steps by giving her breath and love and most importantly wings. As hard as this is and as much as it stings I you are feeling the warm emrabce and deep respect from mothers around the world. — Michele Norris (@michele_norris) July 8, 2018 Congrats on her walking! That's amazing. I missed my youngest's first steps. I cried too. But I learned the best part of the journey is helping them up when they toddle and fall.
