Walking with help

Leah has been pulling up and walking along the edges of every piece of furniture in the house and with her new mobility, Darcey and I have had to make a few changes to the house. We've taken the surround-sound speakers off of their stands, we removed a small coffee table from the living room and we've attached two bookcases to the wall.

It's been hard keeping an eye on her as her reach has expanded but it's interesting to see which objects catch her fancy. She enjoys throwing pillows (and everything else for that matter) on the ground. She continually goes after a collection of green gardening books and pushes every button on the entertainment center that she sees.

Leah's new teacher at daycare says that she will be the next child in the class to walk and Darcey and I have both seen her take brave unassisted steps that ended with her falling on her face. But she never cries after failing and that is all we can ask for.

Well that and somewhere to put all of our nice fragile stuff for the next three years.
