to turn a crawler into a walker.
I saw Piper take her first steps on December 2. Five was the max for the night. Since then, we haven't really seen much more. We did get up to ten steps one time which was quite exciting! But she's always preferred crawling. The only time we could get her to take steps was if someone was right in front of her prompting her to walk. And why not crawl when you're so fast at it?!
Yesterday was no different - taking a few steps here and there but crawling most of the time.
Something changed while she was sleeping.
Today Piper has done very little crawling...walking everywhere she goes! No matter if she falls, she gets right back up and starts walking again. Walking with "large" toys in her hands or a sippy cup in her mouth, her determination is deep.
Something switched within my little pumpkin. It happened in a night. She realized that the task at hand wasn't quite so daunting. She was right. She's adapted to moving around upright quite successfully. :-)
New adventures are here and it's quite exciting!

Wow!! Go Piper! Now mommy has 2 little girls to chase all over. By the way, I hope your ankle heals quickly.
Elliette has yet to do any type of movement milestones, so I know when she does it is going to go sooo fast. We are still waiting for her to roll over!
