Walking the walk

For the last five or six weeks, Holly's been flirting with the idea of walking. Every day she'd take a step or two, but crawling was where it was at in terms of wreaking the most havoc in the shortest amount of time. Fast forward to our trip to Boston a week and a half ago. I'm online madly looking for a key lime pie recipe that I should have just printed out and brought along with me when suddenly Dave comes charging in and says "Quick! Come to living room! Quick!" Out I go and what do you know? Suddenly Holly's walking. Apparently she was waiting for the proper motivation to get up and go. A week and a half later, walking is slowly overtaking crawling as the preferred method of motoring around. She also sprouted tooth number 8 a few days ago. And she can say "down". And, according to Dave, "uh-oh", as of this morning.

Comments

During your visit with us over Labor Day weekend, I thought I heard her say "thank you."
