Cruising?



We set up Addie's radio flyer wagon last weekend. We weighed it down with a bunch of heavy books to give her some friction. This way she can put some weight on it without it flying away from her. It doesn't really do the trick though - if she leans into it, it will roll away which can result in a face plant if Mom or Dad aren't there to catch her. She seems to be aware of this now and is pretty good about not leaning too much while using it to balance.

Last night, she began pulling herself up and down on it as she often does. After a few minutes she leaned forward and it started to roll. Right when I reached out to catch her and prevent a face plant, she took two quick steps forward! She walked with it! I started yelling for Laura to come check it out, and of course as soon as she comes in the room Addie just stands there and smiles. As soon as Laura walked out, she did it again - leaned forward and took two short steps to catch up! Pretty cool, huh? I think she's going to be cruising before we know it.
