She's Walking!

We enjoyed our trip to Kelowna and Amélia really enjoyed the "Sparkle Buggy". Although now at home she's taken to using it as a stepping stool so it's been taken to the closet. The good thing about the Buggy being in a closet means that she needs to walk on her own. On Sept 4th she made her way across the livingroom for myself to Daniel. With 7 steps under her belt Papa and Mealie celebrated with a tickle fest! On the 6th Amélia walked with Grandpa Auger's slipper from Papa to Grandpa... about 8 steps (on her own!). And yesterday Sept 8th she refused to crawl. She would only walk most of the day, even if it meant she'd have to get back up after small topples.... She would walk 3 steps, crouch/kneel/fall and get up and walk 4 more steps.... repeat (all day long). Looks like she's walking now - guess we better get in shape, soon we'll be chasing after her! And only 12 days until she turns 1!
