Why Walk?

    So the new thing Aubrey loves to do is pull herself up and hold on to things with just one hand. 

    She has gotten so fast in crawling, and I swear she picks up more speed each day!

    But she's also gaining speed in running around the couch while holding on. She hasn't figured out she can let go yet. Every now and then she'll let go and stand for a second or two, but she always leans forward and ends up holding on the couch again. 

    It's not just the couch though. She's been pulling herself up on the side of the fireplace, pulling herself up on chairs and going around the kitchen, hopping form chair to chair. She'll pull up on the entertainment center, kitchen cabinets, the trash can, storage bins, practically anything! 

    We have to make sure her socks have good grips so she won't slide on the hardwood floor when pulling up on the chairs. She's even gone for the gates that keep her from falling down the stairs!

    She doesn't really show any interest in letting go and taking a few steps, because she is just so comfortable holding on, even if it's just with one hand!

    I'm ok with her not walking just yet. When she crawls I can hear her thuds on the floor so I know where she is. And she's fast, but she can't out-crawl me. 

    But here's a cute picture of her standing and showing her new talent :) And it's even cuter that she's in a Winnie the Pooh outfit!
