Avery is Walking!

I think it is fair to say that Avery is a walker now.  She still crawls some but usually if there are no walls around her whatsoever.  She is walking unassisted more and more, still wobbly, but every day there is improvement in balance and distance.  She is very determined to walk and she continually gets back up and does it again after she falls.  Watching her determination brings such joy to my face.  Avery has been using the walker some too in learning to walk.  She’ll go get it from the other room and she even can maneuver it pretty good now.  If she runs into a wall, she’ll just turn herself around until the path is open again.  She doesn’t get frustrated one bit. Emerson used the walker some when we first got it in the summer but since then it pretty much sat in the corner until Avery started using it recently.  Well, Emerson has recently started to become a little jealous of Avery and has all of a sudden found a recent interest in the walker.  She too now likes to use it. Emerson has also become more cuddly lately.  Avery is generally the more cuddly of the two and likes to sit in laps especially early in the day.  Emerson now likes to bring a book to read and sit in laps too.  It will be interesting to see how this evolves.
