Walkin'

These shots are so old that they are almost too old to post. However, they were taken in the beginning stages of her learning to walk. I bought her this Little Peoples Bus, and she thinks it’s the greatest toy ever! We take it outside and she pushes it up and down the sidewalk. Sometimes she will stop and pick up a treasure; something like a dried leaf, stick, or a dried up crab apple from last season and put them under the seat. She could be outside walking for hours. She is getting to be a lot more independent with her walking. Now she will stand up from the middle of the room and take off, and last night, turned around mid step to walk the other way. Its great to see her on the move in a new way, but I wonder what kind of trouble she will now be getting into. She has mastered going up the stairs, but manages to get down them by falling, so we still need to work on that. She used to go down really well, but something changed and she started turning around mid-decline and would end up rolling the rest of the way down. Now she wants to walk down them like Ryan and I. Her little legs are just a tad bit too short!

The little video clip is of Jacie walking outside with Aunt Tricia during graduation weekend. She had lots and lots of attention that weekend!
