Dear Kate,
R took her first steps at 9.5 months but she just made the decision at 11 months that walking > crawling. Honestly, I get her hesitation, though. She is a speed demon when crawling on all fours, and let's just say she's shaky at best when walking upright.
I know that kids learn to walk all on their own, but every time I see her toddling around, knocking into things, occasionally falling over - I wonder if I should do some sort of training with her. I mean, she does have my genes, after all. We both know that I either lack the depth perception or the patience to properly turn corners. I perpetually have bruises on my hips from running into the corners of tables! I just don't want my daughter to suffer as I have!
Corners suck,
Bora
