We have a walker! Claire took her first steps exactly one week before her 1st birthday on the outside patio. We were all jumping around, excited for her! Wow, walking before she turns 1, we couldn't believe it. We were so excited that she'd be walking for her birthday party and could show off her new moves ... and then she stopped walking.
I guess falling down was too much, or she realized she liked crawling, or she didn't want to be anyone's trained monkey because she wouldn't take anymore steps for us after that. Se would especially not walk for anyone on her birthday. Then the festivities died down, grandparents went back to Nashville, everything returned to normal and ... she was back at it.
One week after her birthday, she was back walking, attempting small steps which quickly turned into steadier steps. And now (3 weeks after her 1st birthday) we have a full blown walking toddler who picks herself up from sitting to standing to walking, prefers walking over crawling, and gets around the house on her little doughy baby feet with her one arm up in the air for balance (she looks ready for us to give her a platter of food to serve). She is so little and cute teetering around the house. She almost looks too little to be walking.
Milestone: walking! 12 months
