It is simply amazing to watch a child go from milestone to milestone.
Our baby in a rush is now officially a toddling baby at 9mths! Her tentative 1st steps at 8mths have become strong and confident strides. And yes, better not forget her shoes when we go out!
She toddles everywhere! And so very cute to watch her cover the length of the house in confidence.
Yesterdaay, I brought the 4 younger ones to the library while daddy brought the 3 older ones for a bowling game (birthday treat for #3). Anna had a ball of a time toddling all over the library. Picking up books, messing up the shelves which I had to re-pack and climbing up chairs.
At home, she has this fascination with the stairs – but of course 🙂 She’s always heading towards it especially when we are not paying attention. The answer to “Where’s Anna?” is almost always answered with “At the stairs!”
Some have commented that they prefer a crawling baby. Me? I prefer a walking baby! Then I can take her anywhere and put her down without worrying that she’ll crawl and get yucky stuff on her hands and body.
Obviously she’s barefeet at home but I put her in those soft-soled leather shoes (like the popular Robeez) so that she can have a better feel and grip as she walks. I have never bought Robeez so I can’t compare. But we have always put our learning-to-walk babies in these soft-soled shoes. I have bought ours off eBay Singapore, Small-Idea and Jane’s Baby Shop.
Whoa!! She’s fast! Better watch out – she’ll be running next! I’ve got a pair (or two, i think) of soft soled baby shoes my L has outgrown. If you (and Anna) don’t mind blue shoes I could pass them to you.
Thanks for putting the website link in. The shoes are so cute! I’ll be looking at this site when mine comes of age 😛
