Something seems to have flipped a switch in Alexa today. I've caught her standing up all over the house, without leaning on anything. I put her in her highchair to eat and caught her standing several times very steadily. She was quite pleased with herself. Paul fed her some dinner and she chose to stand most of the time he was feeding her. When she'd fall, she'd get right back up and let go immediately. She is now standing for long periods of time, and seem to be enjoying it.
A friend came over to pick up her daughter and she was showing off her standing skills and decided to try taking a couple steps! She's getting ready to walk! She mostly just falls forward and expects you to catch her, but a few times she would stand, take a little step and continue to just hang out before she fell. I think she's very close, and so much sooner than Keith did. Yay!

Woohoo!! Kylie is so much more lackadaisical about it than my other kids. Once they could take a few steps, that was it, they were practicing every chance they got and in a couple weeks they were off. She's still exactly where she was two weeks ago--might, kinda, sorta try to take a few steps. If she feels like it. LOL
it's so funny how quickly they just decide it's ok and do it. I don't know what I'm going to do when Parker is mobile, I might be in trouble.
