Mary Walks
It began on Monday night. Leigh was out and Mary - who hadn't had a nap - was trying to fall asleep in her high chair. She looked a bit like Hemingway sitting unsteadily in a saloon, alternately passing out and waking when his head thumped the bar. I had to keep her awake for a couple of hours and decided to get her down and finish feeding her while we played. While I was sitting on the coffee table and she on her stool, she stood up and took a few steps toward me to get a cracker. This went on for a while and I did capture a little video on my phone.
Last night, while I was out, Mary and Leigh were in the kitchen with Mary playing in a drawer full of placemats. Apparently, she decided she'd rather be in the Tupperware drawer and just walked over to it. For the rest of the evening, especially after I got home, we practiced walking.
She won't be doing the Running Man any time soon, or even the Super Bowl Shuffle, but it's pretty cool.

Way to go Mary!!! Now you're really going to keep your mom and dad busy!! Alison H.
She looks like she's having SO much fun. Oh what you thought you'd Mary-proofed is now going to be tested even further. Go Mary!! (And the running is not so far behind....)
These pics are adorable!
Message for Mary ~ When Uncle Scott and I come visit we will take the gates down and do a fun run around your house. Your house is perfect for it! :) We won't tell your 'rents. ;)
