Walking


Victoria is getting better and better at walking. Well, besides falling into the coffee table and giving herself a black eye a week or so ago... that was a little embarrassing taking her out to go grocery shopping and other random errands. More than once people gave us dirty looks. I mean, yeah, black eyes are no good, but... really? You think we did it on purpose? Come on!!
She still hasn't mastered walking on an incline. We tried on the driveway, and then when we went rock climbing this last Sunday, she tried walking around there too. And luckily, she didn't trip on any of the rocks. She definitely tried to step on a couple, but, since she's smart (or just SUPER cautious) she didn't actually put any weight on her foot, and put it on the ground instead. Perhaps it was all the dirt she ate?
Anyway, she is doing really well. She still does crawl, like when she either is already down on the ground, or is too lazy to stand up. I'm assuming within the next week or two, that will stop. And about the same time, I'm sure running will start. She already has quickened her pace when chasing after me, or playing hide and go seek. So... I can only assume that soon, she will be actually running. At least I'll be able to burn that last little bit of weight off! Haha.
But, best of all, I am LOVING her entertaining herself. After learning to crawl, she has definitely become more independent, but like right now, she is switching off between watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and throwing a little plastic ball around and chasing after it. Only to throw it a different direction once she gets it. Hey, whatever gives me a chance to catch up on emails, or clean. Although, that's not as fun. ;)
