Maddie's Walking!!!

The other day, she was standing in the middle of the room holding onto her blankie. I had just said to Olivia, "Oh, look at what a BIG GIRL Maddie is, standing all by herself!" To which Maddie just shoved her thumb in her mouth, held onto her blankie, and decided to go. She took about 10 steps, going about 1 foot across the floor! And we clapped and praised her. She was beaming, she was so proud of herself!

She doesn't seem to be as thrilled about the walking as we all were. She's maybe walked once since then. Crawling is still the preferred method of travel; it's just so much quicker and definitely more efficient!
