Learning to Walk

Kelsey can walk with a walker just fine, but when it comes to walking on her own she has never really showed any interest. I'm not worried because I know eventually she will walk and plus I don't know if I am ready for that crazy yet. I am just getting the up and down stairs crazy under my belt. Plus she crawls like Mowgli and I'm not ready for that to go away yet.
Lately Kelsey has been getting very brave. She will stand against furniture find her balance and  if she gets our attention or if we call her name, she will try to walk to us with a GIANT smile on her face. She LOVES to walk, she just cant yet. Her best so far is 8 steps and she is always so proud of herself. I especially love when she starts walking towards one of us, she will make this panting noise and then burst out laughing when she falls. Its really cute.
Last night Ethan and I sat at both ends of the kitchen and Kelsey spent 20 mins walking from one to the other. We have to help her find her balance and sometimes she would get too excited to walk and not have her balance and immediately fall. For the most part though she did a great job and loved every minute of it. It was one of those moments that I was so proud to be Kelsey's mom. It was just so much fun to watch her try so hard, to be pleased with her efforts and successes, and have so much fun during the process.

Although blurry, these pictures best depict the fun that she had!
