It is time to take the baby-proofing to the next level. Katie, at 8.5 months, is able to walk now. She has been pulling herself up on two feet and walking with the help of furniture for a few weeks now. Last week she started taking a couple of steps without help. Sunday night (11/8/09) she walked about 15 feet with no help at all, trying to get to her sister her was offering her a princess fairy wand with lots of little choking hazards attached. Oh, the things that will motivate a kid! So now she is able to just pop up on her own and start walking.
The older kids were both closer to 1 years old before they started walking. Obviously, having two active older siblings makes a huge difference! This just means that we have to lock things down sooner than we had hoped.
I forgot how awesome it is to watch a little baby learning to walk. The smile on her face as she comes rambling to you. The awkwardness of the steps, kind of like a little drunk man stumbling along. And Katie, always with that giant sweet smile. Such an angel.
