A familiar sound in our house over the last week has been "step, step, step, THUD". Peachfuzz has been exploring her world, and trying to figure out this walking thing. Sunday afternoon saw a huge development. Papa Bear was on the couch, with Peachfuzz playing nearby. I was in the kitchen. We were both absorbed in our own jobs, and didn't even notice that Peachfuzz had taken off, until I saw her fall, just a few steps away from the kitchen! I quickly lifted her to her feet and sent her back in Papa Bear's direction. She probably took about ten steps before falling over. We were so proud of her!
Since Sunday, she has improved drastically again. She will now attempt to walk places first, crawling only when she falls over. She still hasn't figured out how to stand up without pulling herself up on something, so if she's in the middle of the room when she falls, she'll crawl the rest of the way. But we're hearing a lot more "steps" and a lot less "thuds" now. I'm sure these next few days will be full of joyful discoveries (for her), and lack of childproofing discoveries (for me).
