Walking

As Joanne has been saying, she's walking more than she's crawling these days.



Helping her learn to walk has been one of the coolest experiences. As with everything, she started learning at daycare watching the other kids, but Tahamina suggested we get a walker for home and keep encouraging her. At first she couldn't turn it and would bump into something and you'd have to help her, but soon she was tearing around the house with it.

One really fun thing for me was to have her push the stroller around the playground I remember one day in particular about a month ago - it was an absolutely perfect Spring day and she was pushing the stroller backwards from the front as I held onto the handles to keep it from getting away. She would occasionally fall down but would immediately get right back up and keep going. It was one of those super corny feelings that was just totally great.

  2. She's even a lot more stable now, and she motors around like crazy everywhere! Except unless of course, she can get one of us to carry her... :)
