Colleen has been on the move with her rolling 'wounded bear crawl', and cruising, but she took it up a notch this Sunday by turning around and walking to me without any coaxing! I exclaimed to Daddy, Amelia & Austin that she had walked, and Colleen turned around and took a few more steps for them. There was much rejoicing and excitement in the house (the siblings don't realize how much more she will be in their space now!) A video has been impossible to capture thus far, but we will keep trying.
I thought this was a funny moment. I had put on a show for the big kids to watch; Colleen comes out of the kitchen and stands up in their faces, trying to engage them. They are completely ignoring her, and she is oblivious to the screen behind her.
Wearing the sweater that Mommy knitted for Amelia in 2012 (ended up too small!).
No wipes box is ever safe.
This is now prevented as often as possible.
Like those who came before her, Colleen has begun the daily emptying of Mommy's fabric shelves.
Well, she actually empties any and all shelves at her level.
We pulled out the container full of fabric strips for her to play with - she has mostly ignored it, preferring real wipes or real fabric.
We had wondered if Colleen would be a late walker since she crawled later; but she ended up walking the same week Amelia did (first week after 11 months). Austin walked the week before he turned 11 months. I guess our genes produce early walkers! Now we're off to more child-proofing.
