Of course I can always go on and on about Madi! She's now walking....kind of! About 4 weeks ago she took her first real steps. About 4 or 5 in a row, several times! Both Aaron and I thought "This is it. Madi's walking!" We were so proud!
Boy did she surprise us when she promptly refused to walk anymore. The next few weeks whenever we would try to get her to do it again she would just go limp! Talk about stubborn! We tried everything. "Walk to (insert Mom, Dad, the cat, cheerios, sippy cup, some random toy, whatever else we could think to bribe her with)". Bribery just doesn't work well with her. She would just crawl to whatever it was that we were inticing her with instead!
So we sorta backed off and let her do what she wanted! And once again tonight she's taking her own steps! She was walking on and off for about 30 minutes! I didn't count but I'd say its somewhere around 10 steps in a row was the max. She even stood up by herself, with no help from us or furniture, twice! So maybe she's walking now, maybe not. We'll see what happens!
I went searching for a recent picture of Madi to post with my ramblings. But sadly I've forgotten what a camera is and haven't taken any in a while! Tsk Tsk Shame on me!!

Zeke would do the same thing he would only walk if he wanted but still crawled cuz a) he could get around faster and b) he was still unsure of it. But that is wonderful so proud of her! and you good mommy
Good job Madi! She is such a cutie. I love how she would wave! We need to get together again soon.
