New Found Mobility

Mattie is almost an official walker! Hooray! This is good news and bad news. First, let me explain "almost an official walker". I say almost official because she spends more time trying to walk than crawling. She may lose her balance but will usually get right back up and start walking again. The girls say she really isn't a walker yet because she doesn't walk ALL the time. She still relies on crawling to get her where ever she wants to go quicker and we still have to cart her to and from the car. On average, she can walk about 8 feet or so before falling. So with her new found ability to walk has come the knowing that there are lots of cool things eye level. This child is keeping me on my toes. Gone are the days of sitting even if it was only for a moment. Why just in typing this I've had to stop and clean up my drink that she spilled. Lately, I've had toilet paper rolled off the roller, pencil drawings all over the floor, clothes unfolded, the t.v. channel changed to.....C-Span...ok...yuck. I only watch the news for weather and that would be local news. I've also had people return my phone calls that I never made. This child is into everything! Guess I better go see what she is into now. I hear the crinkling of papers!

Here's another picture just because.......

Walking Video

Here is the video of Mattie walking! Please excuse the loud noise. The girls were jammin' to the music. In the video , Mattie keeps lifting her leg. This is a new thing. I thought maybe her baby leg was bugging her. She still is doing it so it must be part of her dance. She cracks me up! Oh and that hair....well she took the bow out. That's Mattie. Hey, we can keep them in for several hours so that's a start.
