I distinctly remember the first two or three months that Ryan was walking. They were wonderful! He would walk, but he wouldn't run. In fact, I've advised more than one parent to enjoy those first couple of months when they walk, but don't go fast enough to cause trouble or worry. His second Christmas, he had been walking about a month and I took him to see the reindeer. He just stood there in a busy parking lot and I got some awesome photos of him looking at them.
I guess I should have known better. I don't know why I assumed I would have this grace period with Abby. Yes, she runs. Yes, she takes off down the hallway of the elementary school while Ryan is in speech. Yes, she is into everything. As is in the case with everything else, she has no fear. She will walk right up to a table and without even slowing down crawls up on to it and has a seat. She did the same thing to Ryan's bed this morning- walked right up to, threw her leg up and on to the bed, and then stood on the bed. In fact, this is the main reason that I just now have a walking video to post. She's been truly walking for a good week or so, but I can't get a good video! She walks away or too fast or into something or Ryan jumps in to try to "help" her. But here it is, finally, a presentable walking video for your enjoyment.
