Walking and Standing

Jahni is 11 months old today and in the past couple weeks she has changed a lot. For one, she has more balance now and can stand for 20 seconds at a time before falling. She also can hold onto anything her height and stand for long periods of time. Our friend gave us a toy walker (yes, the kind old ladies use to stabilize themselves as they walk) and she loves it! Every night we try to take her walking outside or down the hallway of our apartment building. Once she is off, there is not stopping our little walker, except of course, when she hits a wall (she has not learned to back up and keep walking yet). She is also much better at walking when someone holds one of her hands than every before. . . Pretty soon we'll be saying we can hardly remember when she didn't know how to walk!
