Nadine Coyle has shared a milestone event in her daughter's life with her social media followers – baby Anaíya learning how to walk. The former Girls Aloud singer reached out to fans online, posting a photo of her little one trying to stand upright and balance.
The event was a double celebration for Nadine, who was also celebrating her grandmother's birthday.
"Baby steps with @stephenwalker100 for Nana's birthday," wrote Nadine alongside the Instagram snap.

The singer's friend Stephen Walker also featured in the snap, affectionately supporting Anaíya as she stood up and took a few steps.
Stephen was so taken by his mini friend that he posted his own photo of the cute tot sitting in her high chair at Sketch, London – the quirky restaurant the group were dining at.
"The sweeties afternoon tea ever x," he captioned the snap of the 14-month-old dressed adorably in a pink polka dot frock and matching bow in her hair.
Nadine Coyle welcomed her daughter with boyfriend Jason Bell in February 2014
Nadine and her long-term boyfriend Jason Bell, who she was previously engaged to, welcomed their daughter in February 2014. The couple had split in May 2011, but almost two years later, the Irish stunner confirmed her pregnancy on Instagram, writing, "I'm having a baby Xx".
While the first-time mum has previously admitted to HELLO! magazine that her baby news was a "shock", Nadine, 29, also said that she was "really, really happy" – and didn't think she'd be the first of her former band members to welcome a child.

Her life after Girls Aloud, which she was a part of until their split in 2013, couldn't be further than her singing days.
"I can barely remember my old life at all," said Nadine. "I think, 'What did I do? How did I get through 24 hours a day without a baby to look after?' Every minute is directed towards Anaíya. There are no similarities between my old life and where I am now."
The brunette beauty also hinted that when the time is right, she and former American football player Jason will probably have an "intimate" wedding.
