Ashlyn's First Steps
She started walking at 13 months. It was a proud moment for her and us. We tried to get her to walk for about two months, but she didn't have any interest in it. I guess she needed an audience, because she decided to take some steps when we had friends over for dinner one night. With those steps came a few shoulder and hip shakes. It was the cutest thing in the world! Mike and I couldn't stop giggling.
Now she is a pro and walks everywhere. People always told me, "oh just wait until she is walking." Don't you hate the "just wait" phrases?!? Well I actually prefer walking over crawling, because she doesn't trash her clothes, is more independent, can play with older kids, and I can take her to the park. Sure walking has it drawbacks like how it is really more of a hassle to go out to dinner with her, because all she wants to do is explore. Other than that I am loving it and so is she.

i LOVE it when they can start walking!!! yes, they are faster, but so much happier to be able to get around and i love putting them down at places NOT on their hands and knees anymore. no more scuffed up shoes from crawling, just happy kids that can run around and get tired out. so much better than cranky kids that can't get around yet. yay!!!
