Can we call it walking?

The census is yes, we can officially say that Molly is walking! She has taken, at most, 10 steps, but she will try to walk somewhere instead of crawling. Most of the time that means a few steps before plopping down, but at least she tries! As expected, there is video on the website. In other news, as evidenced by several pictures and video, Molly has figured out how to get into more things around our house, which means more baby proofing. Her latest trick is opening the kitchen cabinet doors. She also decided on her own that when it comes to drinking, she is a big girl and bottles are out; only sippy-cups will do.

Molly is walking! You may have to trick her into doing it, but she can take steps on her own.

Molly has been enamored with computers, cords, and trackballs for some time. Consequently, we hid our laptops from Molly so that she couldn't get to them. My laptop was always hidden by the ottoman, and I would place my briefcase next to the ottoman to block the small space between it and the chair. Unfortunately, Molly now seems mobile enough that a briefcase won't stop her.

It's crazy to think that Molly will be 10 months old on Wednesday! She is starting to understand us a little, and will crawl over to you, or follow you to her room or for a bath, if you ask her to; though sometimes she "walks" to her room (with help, of course). Often, she does not like to put her toys down, so she'll crawl around the room and pull up with them in her hands. Because she plays with toys in each hand, she will pull away from the table and balance on her own. She's probably up to 15 seconds of standing like a big girl. We got some video of it, so make sure to check it out. We're slowly introducing more "adult" food to her. She does well with green beans, crackers, chicken and peaches. I've tried introducing a sippy cup and a straw to her, but as of now her only interest is chewing on them, not drinking, so that challenge continues. We had a few warmer days earlier in the month, so Molly and I ventured to a playground with some friends. She LOVED swinging! The picture doesn't show it because it's really hard to swing a baby, and take a picture at the same time. I even stopped by the playground a second time that week just so we could swing again. :)
