Walking

I AM WALKING!!!

I had been doing a few steps here and there between my parents with a lot of encouragement. Now I walk even without their encouragement. I walk where ever I want to go. I even walk away from my parents. I don't walk everywhere all the time, but I am well on my way.

Here I am starting at the coffee table and walking towards the camera. They aren't great shots, but mom says it is hard to get action shots like this.

Tonight I walked the furthest. I was playing at the toy box that is next to the TV in the living room. All of a sudden Gizmo started going crazy barking in the kitchen cabinet. I don't know why, mom already fed him. I wanted to check it out, so I released the toy chest...

and started walking towards him. I went around my toys on the floor...

into the kitchen....

around the table, just barely cheating and touching a chair for a split second...

and continued to walk to Gizmo in the cabinet...

I continued to stand up for a long time and kept laughing at Gizmo...
Mom was so excited that I made it this far and did turns. When I got there I reminded Gizmo that he is on a diet, so I stepped on his tail. He has lost a lot so mom gave in and gave him a bone. Heck, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have walked this far! He deserved it!

On another note, after school mom took me to Chick-File for dinner. Mom and I are having a lot of alone time. Dad is having to work a lot this week. I have only seen him at night once this whole week. I miss him!

At Chick-File mom ordered my food for my birthday party on the 24th. So if you are coming to the party, we are having chicken nuggets : ) and their Salad Cool Wraps among other things. So come hungry! I hope to show off my walking at the party!
