Kate has been hesitant to start walking. She started taking a few first steps about a month ago and then a couple weeks ago, she took 7 steps across the kitchen floor. Her hesitancy is probably due to all the face plants she has taken. If fact, she had her first bloody nose last week while trying to walk from a chair to the bed. The bed rail won...ouch! Finally, this week, she decided to put on her game face and off she went. At the beginning of the week she was about 50% walking/50% crawling and today she is almost 95% walking...but we'll say tottering because she is still uneasy. But my favorite part of a toddler learning how to walk, is the squat position right before they stand and take off. The slow, unsteady movement from sitting to standing without holding on to anything. It's so cute, and done with so much concentration.
And these are the best pictures I could get of Katy Bug's mouth. She has finally gotten her two front teeth!
Kate has a total of 6 teeth now!!
And for the grandparents... we had the girls' 1yr. and 2 yr. checkups this week.
