Walking.
No, not yet. But soon. Very soon.
Stella has been cruising around for a few weeks. Holding on to legs, tables, couches, and whatever else she can grasp onto as she works on strengthening her walking skills. She still has a way to go, but we're close. I'd say maybe a month. By summer for sure.
Braeden walked very early, around 9 months. That was crazy. Jackson waited until a little past his first birthday. I think Stella will be about the same. Quite honestly, even though it means she's growing up quickly, I'm ready for her to walk. I some aspects it will make life easier. She will be able to do more and go where she wants. In other ways it will make life far more difficult. She will be able to do more and go where she wants.
So we wait. It's the next big milestone for her. She wants it badly too. So badly. She's had a couple of face plants this week at school as she is starting to let go of things to stand unassisted, but she's not been too successful. But she's persistent. And she knows she'll get her way. Eventually.
All is well, 23/26 down, in Drosche Land.
Our second grandchild is flirting with walking too at 13 months. Just not quite ready to take off yet.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! It's both fun and frustrating to watch them learn to walk! :)
DeleteLove everything babies...I had 5.
ReplyDelete5, that's awesome! We're done with 3 here but under different circumstances we'd have more! But our 3 are amazing blessings!
