The Little Walker


No, Ellie is not walking, but she is getting closer. She is 21 months old tomorrow! Her physical therapist dropped off a little walker this morning and Ellie has become a pro at it. It was really frustrating for her at first, but once she saw her cousin do it, she was all about it. Above is a picture of her with her walker and below is a video of her showing off her skills. Sorry my voice is annoying, but a mom has to get excited for her 21 month old that is finally walking, right?? (Please excuse her crazy hair and grungy look. Her hair goes into a fro if you don’t do anything with it. It was one of those days today.) My friend, Jill, said that I should put tennis balls on the back wheels to make it slide easier, just like her grandma's. What do you think? :)




Does this mean I get to use a handicap pass to park in handicap spots??

That is really adorable. It looks like she is a pro! I bet she will be on her own any second. Does she like her freedom with the walker? It was smart to have her cousin try it out.

That is so cute. One of my nephews who didn't walk until he was almost three had to use one of those. They almost dressed him up like an old man for Halloween.:)

How fun! What a cool new thing! I am so very, very envious of her hair! She probably has as much or more than my 4 year old! Not fair.
