The Hippo


Since you were getting so good at holding onto stationary objects and walking around them, I decided to pull out the Hippo. The hippo is a push toy walker. You hold his handle and walk behind. You used to be scared when it would move because you weren't used to moving with something. But on Sunday, you had it mastered. Your first steps were tentative and you sat down and fussed when he started to get away from you a bit, but with a little support you were pushing him all over the first floor all by yourself. You even tried to brave the kitchen floor! When it would start moving fast across the linoleum, you just dropped to your knees and pushed around like that. You went down the hall and stopped to look in every doorway from your new vantage point. You looked like such a big girl! Of course, there was no stopping you after that. It won't be long now before you start attempting steps without holding onto anything at all!
