it's official

Summer is now walking. She's been edging around the furniture for a few weeks now, or along the wall, but wouldn't ever let go and take steps on her own. A couple of weeks ago, we got her to take a few steps between the two of us. We'd send her back and forth and she would do it a few times, but then sit on the floor when she got bored with it. This past week, she finally would take one or two steps off the furniture, but only when she was reaching for something else and would get to it easily.

Yesterday, the light clicked in her head that this walking thing wasn't so bad, and she took off all the way across the living room. Then Adam got her to cross the living room and all the way down the hall. She did that 3 or 4 times, laughing the whole time, and the rest is history. She's still edging along the furniture, and crawling some. But yesterday was definitely the big shift.
