June and her walking skills

The moment has come that when someone asks if she is walking I can say yes!! 

Once a baby turns one you get that question a lot, because supposedly a child should be walking by their first birthday, but it seems that after talking with my other lovely mother friends that a lot of babies walk way before and way after, so I wasn't too worried about it. We have been working with her and trying to persuade her to walk, but  she is a very content crawler until this past week...

This past week she had figured out how to stand up without any support. So she was doing this a lot, then one day Dan came home from work and sat on the couch, June stood up in the middle of the floor and Dan told her to come to him, and all of the sudden she just started taking steps towards him! It was a total heart attack moment of trying to watch her and finding my phone to record it... Though nothing tops Dan's excitement that she waited for him, and that he saw it for the first time also. 

I wasn't quick enough and she started giving up, and tired of the constant persuasion. We persuaded her with about 5 Twix candy bars... She loves those things. NO we didn't give her the whole stick, she just likes to hold the packages! 

  Best moment to date!! 

Now she is taking more and more steps! She still crawls mostly to get to things faster, but her walking to vastly improving and I'm just so in love with her! 

I am so happy that I was able to capture the first few times of those wibble walks... They are my favorite!

Now that she has learned how powerful her legs can be, she has been busting all sorts of moves! I am so in love with watching her discover new things, and literally there is not a better feeling in the world than to watch your child discover something new..... TOTAL HEART MOMENT!

Clearly she is my daughter...


Good Work baby Girl! I love you so much!!
