Well. As we all know, Edda is almost 18 months old and not yet walking. She is the speed demon crawler, but no independent steps – almost no interest in walking. She has inherited the flared out feet – a la her mother and will most likely walk like a duck. I’m a little bit concerned, not like OMG concerned, just a little corner of my brain knows that she’s a bit behind other kids in the walking department. Anyways, I’m happy to report that just in the past few days, she’s been making a lot of progress and seems to really enjoy standing up, clutching a couch. In the morning, when she wakes up, I bring her to our bedroom and then I collapse into our bed hoping to sleep another 15 minutes. She spends the whole time cruising around our bed clutching our bedspread and standing. Woo hoo!
