Remi is walking!
We were getting pretty sick of hearing stories about 10 month old babies walking. At 14 months Remi was content with crawling. Why bother walking if you are lightning fast as a crawler?
She has been standing for 2-3 months. Teasing us with the idea of walking by bouncing up and down as if dancing to music. She would even cheat by walking while holding on to furniture. Despite our best efforts to encourage an untethered step Remi wasn’t interested.
About 3 weeks ago she took 2 steps for mommy. She let go of her furniture support and let her legs take her for a brief test. We thought she was ready to enter the bipedal world but there was to be no more excitement for another 2 weeks. Early this past week Remi took 9 wobbly steps to a pillow as daddy sat in shock. By Thursday it only took a little encouragement to “stand up” and she would walk with purpose.
By this time next week I expect she will be running agility courses.

I knew she could do it and would in time…guess the time has come. I’m as proud as a peacock to see her wide leg stance. It’s funny how parents want their child to walk so badly and then we they do, they get into everything and the parents wish they would have crawled a little longer. I don’t know if Camp remembers heariing the story, but he had casts on both legs due to his “toe in” problem…he had been standing and taking a few steps around furniture before the casts went on and then couldn’t do either with the heavy casts on. He did crawl, and so much that he actually wore the casts down from friction. Castscame off at 10 months and he was walking about two weeks later. Every child is different and every child is precious…I think my pixie Remi will be running within the month! Good luck Mom and Dad. Love you all…
