Moving Right Along

Just to give you an update on Ruthie's walking....

At 15 months and 1 day, she took her first steps. After that, she took it slow- observing everyone around her, taking one little step here and there. After a while, she progressed up to several steps at more frequent intervals. Finally, Ruthie has proven that she is ready to cut loose. I think we can call her official walking start at 16 1/2-16 3/4 months. With that slow but clearly observational and introspective progression from stepper to walker, Ruthie managed to bypass the entire falling down period. She stands on her own two feet quite well.
