our little girl is walking! She has been standing by herself pretty confidently for months & I would have placed a bet with anyone that should be walking before she turned one. She has loved to walk around holding on to our fingers & she has been cruising short distances for a while now, but otherwise she was pretty content just crawling around. About 12 1/2 months, she took about 4 steps. In fact, the first time we saw her do this was the day before Christmas Eve. We got so excited thinking she would walk over the holidays, but she never did. Finally, she turned 13 months & it was like a spark went off. She literally waited for Bryan to come home from work that night & then she surprised us by taking about 10 steps - the most she had ever taken at once. And she did this multiple times that night! Every day after she just went farther & farther and within a few days she was completely mobile. We kind of laugh at her because she looks like a penguin waddling around :) Most of the time she likes to walk holding something in her hand - I guess it helps her to balance. But she definitely falls a lot. I think she tries to go too fast & gets too excited!
It's hard to capture her walking in pictures so I have been trying to take more videos of her. I realized that I never took a lot of videos of her while she was younger because they weren't very exciting. She would just sit there, or lay there & hardly ever made any noises. It's gone too a whole new level now that she is mobile!
The first couple of videos show her cruising with her walker. She got this in October & has been a pro at it for months now. That girl can pick it up & turn it around - she knows how to work it! The other videos are of her taking her steps at the beginning. She is walking a lot faster & farther these days, but I haven't taken one recently. Hope you enjoy!
Sorry if you got bored with the videos, but I personally love them. You can really see her personality in them & I knew at least the grandparents would watch them!
Yea! She is so fast :) can't wait to see her and Braxton running around.
