We Have A Walker!

Miss Juliet finally decided to walk and she decided on her birthday! From reading Juliet's "signs of readiness to walk," we thought we would have a "toddler" by Thanksgiving...nope. Then we thought for sure, Christmas, nope. She did began to step out more a few days after Christmas at CeCe and Pops. I have some video of that. And I have some video of her making the decision to become a full time walker and I have some footage from today. Juliet was content walking with a finger. At first our backs were killing us, but between Thanksgiving and Christmas she grew taller, so it wasn't as bad. She wasn't using our finger for anything, but she wasn't confident of her skills yet. At Christmas she would get quite upset if she wanted to walk, but you didn't. Thankfully Granddaddy was there to offer a finger when ever she wanted it. The day before her birthday she tried walking a few steps, but on Tuesday January 5th, she took the plunge! At church the next day we walked from one side of the church to the other looking for Daddy. Once we got to the fellowship hall, she started yelling, "Da-Da, Da-Da !" To cute and a first. By Saturday (the day of her party) she was squatting to pick up toys without falling over! Really I can't say it enough, babies are amazing!!
