I can't believe it, but Roxanne is walking. It took a little over a month to go from taking a few steps at a time to now, when she is a full-fledged walker. She takes teensy little steps most of the time, which is hilarious, since when she wants to get somewhere faster, she just takes the tiny steps at a faster rate. My favorite part was the few days it took her to learn to stand up without pulling up on anything. She did it by getting into a tri-pod position, which looked an awful lot like a yoga pose. I don't know how many times I watched her try to thrust her upper body upright only to topple over again, but she was so determined! Now she can stand up easily with no support. She's even mastering the ability to walk over bumpy ground and up and over little steps. She still needs a hand sometimes, but she's making a lot of progress. And she's so brave! Sometimes I wish she would have a little more fear. I guess most parents do...
