Walking Update

It is official, Carly is a show off. After dinner last night we walked over to visit some friends, and to check out their new kitchen. It had been a few weeks since they had seen Carly, so we showed how we had been setting her up to take a few steps and how her cruising ability had improved since the last time they saw her. After being in their home for a while Carly got quite comfortable with herself. Dave set her up to walk to one person, she would take a step away from him, turn slightly, and walk towards me. She did this a few times before becoming fascinated with a sofa pillow. Her excitement for this pillow resulted in her sitting down and playing with it, and then independently standing up from her sitting position while holding onto this pillow (it was about 2.5 inches thick, so it gave her some help in pushing herself up off of the ground). Once standing she would begin to walk, until deciding to dive bomb the floor and land on the pillow. She got quite a kick out of herself and repeated this a few times. Dave and I were amazed at how much "walking" she did last night and are quite intrigued about what will follow today.
