You know my kid is not walking. No desire whatsoever. She crawls, pulls to standing, creeps along furniture, etc.
As requested by Grandma Cathy, here's an example of why she doesn't walk - she's too proficient at crawling - especially with her little "kick-stand" crawl (staying upright, leaving her hands open for other stuff): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U5m4wp0AOg
Well, on Saturday, she stood up from a seated position two times without any assistance. Okay... progress...
On Monday, she stood independently a few times (staying up when we let go), for about 30 seconds at a time:
[She's not usually hanging out in just a diaper - she'd been finger painting]
She still would drop and crawl when she decided it was time to move. And she's spent the past 2 nights standing several times, both staying up when we let go and also standing up without assistance.
Well tonight, she took 1 solid step before losing confidence and dropping down. And she did it TWICE! So I guess we call that her first steps? It's progress anyhow. She's figuring out that she CAN do it, and she still needs to figure out if she WANTS to do it.
