Working on my stride

Once I took my first steps at 13 months, I thought it would be smooth sailing.  The reality is that it is really scary standing up and trying to get around on my own!  It has taken a lot of time, but I'm starting to feel more confident about my walking abilities.  My favorite way to walk is to hold somebody's finger.

Once I start feeling good about my skills, I tend to walk around my playhouse in circles as many times as I can before falling or running over to see Mommy or Daddy.

While I'm walking, I like to wave my arms around and/or clap my hands.  My parents call it "arm flaily" for two reasons.  One, everything they say ends in the "y" or "ee" sound.  Two, I'm flailing my arms quite liberally!

See my house in the background?  I LOVE THAT TOY!!!

Even though I'm always on the go, I do stop for about 3.2 seconds every 5 hours to contemplate the meaning of life....er, to figure out how toy A fits inside toy B.

And finally, I will leave you with a picture of my cuteness.  Mommy just loves my cute little cheeks!
