During Lil Shauna's bday bash, on several occasions, she stood up on her own without support when she's sitting on heightened surface (e.g. on a step). We also noticed that she's standing without support for a longer period of time. My mum had also commented that Lil Shauna has started walking.
I first saw Lil Shauna walking on her own sometime last week. She was still very much insecure and will grab whoever's finger that she can. It was only after lots of coaxing that she decided that she will perform her walk for me. She's definitely very wobbly, unstable and directionless.
Over the weekend at nainai's place, we tried coaxing Lil Shauna to perform her walk for the grandparents. She did and the grandparents, uncle + future auntie were cheering her on. The more they cheered, the more she walk. In fact, she couldnt stop even when she started to wobble badly. We had to carry her and distract her to stop her from walking.
We got her on video. There was this part that she appeared to be falling. She's not, the camera went out of focus bcos I was trying to catch the baby who came "running" to me. :)
Just now, right before bedtime, Lil Shauna was feeling adventurous on the bed. Perhaps she knows that the bed is soft and it doesnt hurt (much) to fall on the bed. She was standing up on her own, standing without support and happily walking on the bed. Clever baby.
Digressing. Now that Lil Shauna is getting mobile and has improved her fine motor skills tremendously, it is time to pay attention to the little things that are lying around in the house. Just that day, I saw her playing with her picker that we used to clean her nose. The next moment, she conveniently deposited the picker into the toilet roll container. I bet she planned that. She hates it when we try to clean her nose with the picker. Hohoho.
Soon, I will realise that the things at home grow legs. ;p
