After months of training my baby to walk, she ended up crawling first. She still likes to try to stand all the time and her legs are extremely strong. This was what I was waiting for. Most parents I hear don't want their kid to be mobile too soon. I suppose because it takes more energy to take care of a moving target.
For me, I want Calleigh to move. After a while, it's quite boring for me and for her to just sit and stare. Yeah Calleigh! She gets claps from me every time she stands, now it's also when she crawls!
Hmm..Mobility
My intention of training her to strengthen her legs in order to stand was really not that much effort. Every time I played with her I would just let her sit on my leg and encourage her to stand. Maybe she is a natural but really, she looks at me when I clap and say "Yeah". She may not be able to understand my words but this praise is the enthusiasm she needs for encouragement.
very cool! she did good! she did not just use her arms like alanna! Yeah CJ!
