Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hi all, just wanted to let you know that turns 17 months today and is so close to walking!!! She does cruise, but has yet to stand independently. Yesterday she let go of a chair while standing for a few seconds before falling to the floor, so I think she is coming along nicely. Her therapist has encouraged us to let her use her walker (the kind you push) to walk a block to the school each day when we pick up my son. We have done this three days and it seems to be helping strengthen her. Not to mention how cute it is to see this little babe walking down the street! She stops and points at everything and it takes a long time to get there, but this is her first chance at real exploration. She loves the neighbors rhododendron plant, and keeps pointing at it and saying " Oh, ooohhh " . I can't wait to see her reaction when it actually blooms! Right now it is just greenery. I'm grateful that part of our yard is fenced because I can see already that she is going to be a real handful when she gets more independence with her walking. As it is she steers the walker toward the playground and screams when I point her the other way, walks a few steps, then turns the walker back toward the playground again. Strong willed!
