1st Steps May 27, 2009
Over the past few days Kendal moved from doing the same old cruising to some real progress toward walking. On Friday morning, I was able to get her to “walk” with me holding one hand for the first time. She continued to do more and more of this over the weekend.
When we went to SeaWorld on Tuesday, we practiced more walking while holding my hand and she was so pleased with herself she was giggling!
After Bobby got home Tuesday night, I left the house for 5 minutes to pick something up from a neighbor and when I got back, Kendal had taken her first steps!!! Bobby said that she just turned toward him after playing with toy and took a couple of steps. Of course, when I came home I had to see for myself, and sure enough she was happy to show me.
Since yesterday, she has been doing it more and more, and she is so excited to take steps on her own! (This morning, she took some steps from me to the TV to watch Mickey Mouse!)
As of today, she is still very wobbly -- just a few hesitant steps and back to crawling or on her butt -- but full-on walking is just days away… Bye bye baby -- hello toddler on the move!
