Happy walker walker

Some photos of our happy Lexi assisted walking, but oh so proud because she is doing it by herself! The first night we had the walker she stood behind it, but wouldn't move with it. She would push it a little farther away from herself and pull it back, feet planted firmly in one place. The next day daddy pushed the walker away from her while she was holding on, just far enough that she had to take a step, and off she went! She likes to walk around with the walker and play with the compartment on the front, as well as the spinners. She is very proud that she figured out how to turn this clicker thing all by herself.



Do you see the blur?


Just getting momma!


AND THEN - on Sunday night, right before bed we had 13 steps in a row - UNASSISTED! This was very exciting and she (and we) are proud and excited! She turned 15 months (unbelievable) last Friday so this is just about right for her that she would start a few days after. It's so cute now because she will slowly stand herself up in the middle of the kitchen or the dining room or anywhere and then start to take some steps. Sometimes she gets a bit off balance so she does her "gymnast bend" where she bends her knees and sticks her bottom out to keep her balance. Then she slowly straightens back up and tries again. Other times she just goes right down hard on her bottom. Yesterday she was trying to walk in the kitchen and then I asked if she wanted her milk. She got excited and couldn't quite keep her balance to walk (although she tried 3 or 4 times) so she gave up and crawled. So much fun!
