Harper Walks!

When Tannah started walking, she was very tentative.  She took her first steps, and then for weeks she would only take one or two steps here and there.  She would flat out refuse to even attempt to walk if she wasn't in the mood, if she fell down she would just crawl, and it took her almost a month to really start walking.

Harper has taken a little longer to take her first steps, but I figured that once she started, she would take right off.  Boy was I right.  I feel like she just took her first steps and all of the sudden she thought she could run.  For the record, she couldn't, but she sure did try.  I am amazed at how quickly she went from a few steps to stumbling down the hallway bouncing off the walls to walking down a sidewalk waving at people.  I seriously feel like it happened overnight.  For example, this first video was taken on a Saturday.



On Monday morning, Wei-Yand and I were laughing  because she looked like a little pinball bouncing off the walls as she walked down the hallway.  I picked her up from daycare and brought her home, and all of the sudden she could do this:

She's still not quite as stable or fast as Tannah, but I'm sure they'll be racing down the hallways of our new house in no time.
