Mobility Update

She walks! Last month she learned to get up onto her knees and one leg (down on one knee) from the middle of the floor. And she could walk around with support. Then she learned to stand on her own - without holding onto anything. Just in the center of the room. And she started taking a few steps here and there. Now she can take up to 12 wobbly steps at a time! She pops up and down, goes from walking, to crawling, and back to walking, in one trip across the room. It is so cute to watch.

Here she is yesterday afternoon pushing around the baby stroller. She's pretty fast with that. You can see in one of the movies how she gets up and takes some steps on her own.

How cute is that?! That's just what her uncle Jon used to do at 11 mo. with a Fisher Price shopping cart. Cute stroller and dollies that Birgit found! AND Rebecca looks cute in her blessing dress slip!
