At Last, Sienna Walks

Sienna finally started walking!  She’s been walking with us holding her hand or with encouragement to walk a few steps to us, but Gary and I haven’t considered it “real walking” until she’s walking around on her own without us encouraging her to do so.  And that finally happened the day after she turned 17 months old.  I had started getting a little concerned because if a child isn’t walking by 18 months, then it’s a problem.  To us it has seemed like she has developed fairly slowly with most things, but thankfully still within the acceptable age range. Walking around the living room 

She has changed some of her crawling to where she is doing it on her hands and feet.  Ethan never did this, but this is how I crawled around when I was a baby.  My mom has a picture of me crawling like this outside, so I tried to get one of Sienna too.

Happy to be outside!
