Well, since then, she has showed no interest in trying to stand unassisted and would just sit down if you tried to hold her hands while she walked. So, maybe she won't walk early.
On Friday (10/28), little Claire bear woke up from her afternoon nap a new little baby. I brought her downstairs, put her on the floor, and she immediately crawled to the couch, stood up, and let go. She didn't fall, she just stood there...like she had been doing it for months. In a two day period, she is not only standing up unassisted, she is also getting to the standing position without holding onto anything, and she is starting to take steps. Holy Macaroni little girl!
These sweet children amaze me with how quickly they learn new skills. I asked Paul if he cared if she walked before he got home. He said he didn't but that it would be funny to be able to tell people that he got to see it only because I had spent three weeks pushing her over. haha. He cracks me up.
I'm wondering if Claire will be like her brother. Paul never 'tried' anything. He would only attempt it when he knew how to do it. He never did the whole falling over walking thing or tried to say words he was unsure of. If this is a projection of anything, I would say that she might be following in his footsteps.
I'll let you know when the full walking begins!
