Izzie is over 15 months now and she is still not walking. The normal range for walking is 10 - 15 months, so I was getting a teensy bit worried. In my heart, I know she is fine. A lot of it has to do with her personality. Izzie is super cautious and she won't attempt to do things, unless she knows that she can do it well. It is one of the main reasons she gets less bumps compared to other children. Still, when 15 months creeped around I figured she just needed a little encouragement. I went out and got her the Haba Walker Wagon - and immediately Izzie loved walking around with it. In fact, after a week of walking around the wagon, Izzie has gotten the courage to stumble one or two steps and Al and I think that she will be walking soon. If anything, it proved that she could do it... we just need to be patient with our little girl!
The first time I saw Izzie walking with the wagon, I got a bit teary. It was the first time I saw her walking by herself (albeit with the wagon). I'm always walking while holding her hand or watching somebody else do that. But she just looked like such a big girl walking towards me! Sigh, where has the time gone?
Taking a break, and looking at herself in the mirror:
