Steppin' out

I am glad to report that little man is now attempting to walk. He has gone from the sofa to the chair and then from one part of the kitchen to another. He still isn't sure that this is a great mode of transportation but he is experimenting with it more. Often he attempts to do this while carrying something large. My husband reports that little guy carried a cup, with a little bit of water, without a top, from one part of the kitchen to another without spilling! He has also become a little more clingy today - which is sort of surprising. He is also getting much better at standing up without anything around him - it really is quite a feat. Anyway, not too long and his little motor will really be running!

Get ready and go! People don't realize that children go through a clingy phase around 15-18 months similar to the one they go through around 8 months. This usually corrosponds to when they are fairly competant at walking, they have more freedom which is both exciting and scary. Children will be running/walking and suddenly realize that mom/dad aren't as close as they are use to. A will go through moving away and then being a bit more clingy as he explores his new freedom. Go with it and be reasuring when he is clingy. Enjoy, some of the best cuddles are when they come back after exploring.
