My Mum took Olivia to a coffee morning at a friend's house last week. Olivia was playing happily on the floor and my Mum was chatting away to her chums, glancing at Olivia now and again to make sure she was not up to no good. Mum turned around to get something out of the nappy bag and when she turned back Olivia was standing up and walking along holding on to the coffee table! Queue all the hot drinks being moved to higher surfaces.
This was the first time she had pulled herself to standing as previously she only coasted if we stood her up in her playpen. Just like her Mummy once she has done something once it becomes old hat and now she acts as if she has always done this and is getting very experienced indeed at pulling herself back to standing once she has fallen in her playpen (or The Play Penitentiary as it has come to be known :) . Of course she getting very cocky about standing up and coasting and is now covered in bruises so no doubt Social Services are on high alert...
She'll definitely be walking by Christmas so there goes the end of Mummy and Daddy's sanity...

ReplyDeletei wondered if gregory was going to be walking by the time he was one, because both C+P were - well, 2 days before the birthday he took 1 step unaided; 1 day before the birthday he took 2 steps unaided; on the birthday itself, he staggered across the lounge. He still views crawling as safest, but it was is if he wanted to make sure he didn't miss the milestone!
