She started walking for real on Tuesday. L gave her the bottom end of a crutch, which she used as a cane. Quite successfully, too. The girl used it to keep her balance while walking, and even tried to use it to help her stand from sitting.
By Thursday she no longer needed the crutch. Which was good, since we lost it. She was standing easily on her own and walking without being prompted. And opening cabinets, because she's not just picking up one skill at a time.
Today, L and I were playing catch with the child. L sat on the floor about six feet away from me, holding the girl, and I'd beckon her over. She'd walk to me giggling the whole way. I'd turn her around, and she'd walk back to L. Repeat over and over. It's really quite fun.
