One week ago today, Eila decided that she would like to be a walker instead of a crawler. So, she practiced walking back and forth between the rooms of the house for what seemed like hours after playgroup with her walking buddies. Over the weekend, she amazed everyone with her new skills and hasn't looked back.

Now, when she falls down, she gets back up and keeps walking. And, she falls down a lot. She has hit her head quite a few times as well as other body parts too. I think she even hurt the table once or twice.

While, we say walking we mean: toddling. Walking is possibly the correct term, if you consider it being upright and moving two legs forward in alternation. Her whole body is involved in the effort to stay upright and keep moving forward. She looks very unsteady at all times. I think she resembles a drunken sailor (on a ship, of course).
