Off And Running

Hopefully soon we'll see the end of this:



Yep, holes in one knee, thanks to Emmerson's crab-style crawl. Now that she's outdoors so much, she can wear a hole in the knee of a pair of pants in just one day.

But now that she's serious about learning to walk, maybe we won't be going through so many pants anymore!

Emmerson has been working on her walking for quite a while now, and she could walk but for two things: 1) Lack of confidence, and 2) Mainly she tries to run and not walk! If she'd slow down, she could nail it. This is what's really holding her back -- she's like a horse out of the gate. In the last week, she has finally started walking without being lured in to it by the TV remote (so special to have) or some other highly desirable object waved in front of her. Now she just does it because she knows she can.

As her mom, I find this series of three videos just so funny and cute.
