Ponderings of a Scientist

Addie is walking!…a bit that is.  On Sunday night she was standing about 3 feet away from me holding onto a bookcase, when suddenly she pivoted and walked, rather steadily about 2 feet before diving into my arms.  Since then she has repeated the performance on numerous occasions thanks to parental prodding.

The tricky thing is, she doesn’t really know how to stand on her own for more than 10-20 seconds, so she is learning how to stand unsupported and walk at the same time.  If she gets her balance first by standing and then starts walking she does okay, but most times she tries to walk before adjusting her balance and promptly falls over.
