Walk Like an Egyptian!

Two days ago I was walking back and forth between Mom, Grandma J and Dad. Really, it was pretty easy, because they never got to far away.

So I decided, why can't I do this myself? And I did! I took a couple of steps from the couch to the divan (whatever that is) and Grandma J almost jumped three feet straight into the air!

Mom says that I walk like an Egyptian because it's some song by The Bangles. Dad says I walk like an Egyptian because I still don't bend my knees much and move like a mummy. I think Dad is silly, because Mom isn't all wrapped up in bandages and she bends her knees all the time. Plus I don't think she's ever been to Egypt.

Now I'll walk almost anywhere! Sometimes I start to tip in one direction and just walk that way instead, and other times I have to run and grab onto something before I fall, but I'm already figuring out how to slow down and stand still. It's not as hard as I thought! I can walk from one end of the house to the other without help, but Mom and Dad and Grandma J stay close just in case I start to lose my balance!

Dad says that his back is really excited!

AND AWAY WE GO. Congratulations on walking all by yourself. Guess you are getting too be a really big girl now. Do be careful that you don't go too fast and fall. I am anxious to see you walking all by yourself. I know your Mom and Dad are real proud of you too. Thanks for all the posts to your blog. It has been great to hear the many special things you are doing. Love, Grandpa and Grandma D
