Maggnificent Monday

34
A video post this week. All of a sudden on Friday Maggie decided that walking while holding on to only one adult hand was the way to go. So overnight we went from this


to this


It used to be we'd have to trick her pretty sly-like in order to get her to go one-handed. And then when she realized the schtick, she got super mad. But overnight -- really, overnight -- she decided that she was a big girl and one hand is all she needs. It's great; she can carry something around in the other hand or have it available for swatting a dog. And the adult on the other end is a little more upright, thus there's less back-breaking work involved.

Really, she's not holding on all that tight, either. The next big thing will be learning how to fall appropriately. She's gotta get to where she can throw her weight backwards and just sit down when her balance starts to go. I figure that's why kids wear diapers -- to cushion those precious bottoms when learning to walk.
