Walking update brought to you by the letter G

Megan has been doing really well with her walking, especially in the evenings with daddy.  She loves to push him around the house by putting her hands on his thighs and he walks backwards - though most of the time she is barely touching him.

She has been working hard on learning to stand up without pulling up.  Yesterday she did it 4 times on her own, meaning I didn't help her.  Tonight for the first time she initiated it and got more than 75% of the way on her own and I helped her balance to finish standing up.  The first time I had positioned her to stand up and she did it and then halfway to Will she fell down.  She then got back in position and started to stand up.  This was the first time she didn't just do her crawl/hop thing the rest of the way; but instead tried to stand up to walk again.  She repeated that a few minutes later as well.

Last night Will was holding both of her hands and they were walking extremely fast around the house - as fast as Megan could go without actually running.  She was squealing and having a blast.  At one point she was facing him and they walked to the laundry room.  Instead of turning around to walk back out of the hallway she started walking backwards.  She did it several more times - walked backwards while holding onto our hands.

Tonight while she was going back and forth between us I sent her to Will.  She walked all the way across the room, stopped about 2 steps from Will, turned around and walked back to me.

As promised this update has been brought to you by the letter G.  Megan is now making the G sound.
