Even though Harper practically runs with her stroller, will cruise along everything, and had taken 2-5 steps at various times in the past couple weeks, it still took me by surprise when she started walking on Tuesday. I should have known she was about to because that afternoon she was sitting in my lap and just randomly stood up and took five steps. But it wasn't until that evening that I declared her a walker. She was in the kitchen with me while I was making dinner and just stood up and walked clear across and out of the kitchen. She wasn't even trying to get to anything--she just started walking to walk. She then practiced all night long.
These videos are from Tuesday night. Her balance and speed have already improved quite a bit since then. She still crawls or uses her stroller to get somewhere fast {like when I walk out of the room too quickly}, but she seems to prefer to try to walk. If she does start crawling, I can tell her to stand up and walk and she does! It's so cute how proud she is of herself. She smiles so big when we praise her and she'll even clap for herself sometimes :)
