These aren't really SteelyKid's first steps, just the first ones I got on video:
She routinely goes farther than that, more confidently than that, but the big lunge at the end is awfully cute. It's hard to get her really good walks on video, because she always seems to be on the verge of disaster, either by falling and hitting herself, or by walking toward the dog while she's chewing a bone, or heading some other place where she shouldn't be....
From what I understand, the terrifying phase should only last another twenty years or so.

She just bought two pairs of new shoes.
Yesterday was the funeral for my great-aunt Mildred, known within the family as "Auntie" (first syllable "ont" not "ant"), who fell and bumped her head last Friday, and just never woke up.
I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. Her name is Suzette. She's a very nice girl. She likes to talk - something, it turns out, she's very good at.
Today, I had to take care of some cats for a vacationing NYCer, so this meant that I had to brave the snow, slush and Lake Erie-sized mud-puddles in the process.
I like that she looks like she's dragging one of her legs, like it's a bum leg, and that she's going in for a hug at the end of the video. so cute!
Awwww .... she loves her daddy!
The really terrifying part will be when she gives that look to some guy other than her daddy.
:-D
Yep, no steering, no brakes . . .
When we lived in rural Alaska, one of the prime entertainments at the yearly crafts fair/festival thingie was the 'baby walk.' People put their toddlers on stage at the school auditorium and coaxed them to walk from one side to the other.
Very well attended event, and all the walkers were cheered enthusiastically, whether they made it across or just sat down in the middle or went in the opposite direction or whatever; it was such a small town everybody knew all the babies anyway.
Thanks for sharing these cute videos.
Oh, sweet baby, and you haven't even marked your first birthday yet!!!! She is most definitely an "early" Orzel, unless her Grandma & Grandpa Orzel have proof that you and your sister were early. Somehow, Chad, I think I remember you taking your time.................
...by walking toward the dog while she's chewing a bone...
'She' means the dog, right?
Right?
