Really wants to be on the move...

We got Melia a walker. She is really at the point where she no longer likes her jumperoo. Right now she just wants to stand/walk. Thought this might help her get more practice and be a little happier. So far it's just so so. She loves it when Cameron pushes her around and plays rough. However, she can only move it backwards right now. Hasn't quite figured out how to work it as she mostly tries to jump in it.

She can stand on her own while holding onto something. She's afraid to move though unless she is holding our hands...hasn't built her confidence yet. Just stands there as still as can be and eventually starts whining until you take her hands.

Still no crawling yet! But she is moving really well. She gets up on her knees...and moves backwards a bit. Usually she just rolls or sits and leans up over her knee and reaches to get what she wants. She is extremely tempermental!! In this video you will see her do her typically grunt while straightening her legs out in frustration. She does this when she's mad...and it seems to be all the time. She also does a lot of push up planking and has recently learned how to get to a sitting position when she's laying on the floor. It's only a matter of time and she will be mobile.

Notice at the end of the video how she sits with her ankles crossed. She does this all the time. I think she's just trying to trick us into thinking she's a little lady!

She has also taken a liking to her swing, which she is almost too big for. After the first picture she was expecting the flash so she kept closing her eyes...thought the second pic was really funny.

 

 

 

 

And she still loves to walk holding onto our fingers. She is actually moving really fast now! Sometimes almost too fast for her to manage and she wobbles all over. Love those chubby little legs!
