Twice today - TWICE! - I caught Belly walking around when she didn't think I was watching. The first time was at Swap 'n Play (this cool kid hangout place that we go to). I was doing something with the Bug and I looked across the room to check on Belly, who had been playing at the Little Tykes Kitchen for the past ten minutes. She wasn't there. Immediately out of the corner of my eye I saw her walking from a baby push toy about fifteen feet to the kiddie trampoline. It was AWESOME. As soon as I called her name, she dropped to the floor and whipped her head around to figure out where I was. And then, of course, she started crawling toward me like a whining maniac. The second time was this afternoon. We were at home and I was in the kitchen getting the girls a snack. I looked across the dining room toward the living room and Belly just came walking around the corner of the couch to the big basket of books. She crouched down, picked out a book, stood up and headed back around the front of the couch. Unfortunately, she took a digger when she slipped on a toy (she wasn't hurt but she crawled away with her book). But, PEOPLE! How exciting!! She walked for the sake of getting from one place to another! Neither time was a show-boat move because Mama was making her practice walking! It was straight-up strolling along.
