Daphne is officially walking today.  She was the most capable cruiser for a long time, but today she learned to let go.  I picked her up from her classroom, and then we went to Yellow Room to get Amelia.  I asked Amelia to go a few steps from Daphne so that Daphne could walk to her.  Daphne did, then all the other Yellow Room kids also wanted Daphne to talk to them.  She walked to each kid, 6 or 8 steps between them, gave each a hug, then went on to the next (after a “Daphne can you walk to…” prompt with pointing to the target).  She walked to 6 or 7 kids and the teacher without plopping back down or going to the furniture.  It was so sweet on both sides and a great way to become a walker.

Here’s a not too great video of her walking to me at our friend’s house tonight.  You get the gist of it here, but imagine a bunch of kids in the room and her visiting each one.

Ethan is out of town for a few more days, and she will probably be a pretty professional walker when he gets back!
