*Update* I've gotten Abby to take several steps this afternoon by herself. This video is indeed dated. Oh well.
This video was taken a few weeks ago, at the beginning of July. Spencer posted it on Facebook, but I thought I'd throw it on here too. Since this video was taken, Abby has taken several steps on her own (all in the presence of Spencer, not me. Grrrr...) She can walk, she just doesn't want to walk. It's a little long- and the two teeny steps she takes is at the end of the video.
We have come to the conclusion that she will have to make the decision to walk on her own because if we push her to do it, as shown in the video, she gets upset and sits down. Silly girl. I know I shouldn't be impatient for this whole business to go down, because once she gets the hang of it she'll be that much more difficult to keep track of, but I sort of can't help it.
Moms, when did your little ones start to walk?
P.S. How excited am I that Project Runway is starting next week?? Very. The answer is very.
Jane was something like 15 or 16 months old and of course it was really stressful because she was our first and I thought (plus everyone told me) that she HAD to walk at 12 months.
ReplyDeleteKate was about 12 months. She just had to do what her big sister was doing.
Great job, Abby and parents!
