Itty Bitty Shopper

I recently gave Shiloh one of her supposed-to-be-Christmas presents early, partly because I couldn't wait to give it to her, and also because I began to realize she would get more use out of it now than when she is already walking well.



Here is how she looked with it the first day I gave it to her:






And here -- also the first day, but a more successful attempt:





And 4 days later, she looks like this with it:



Unbelievable.


She is growing up way too fast -- and there is nothing I can do to slow it down!!! (Did I mention she's now standing alone for sometimes up to about 15 seconds?? I may soon regret having given this walker to her... "ruh roh!")

**UPDATE** : The last video above was taken on Saturday. Tonight (Monday evening), Shi took her first steps!! First, one step toward Momma.... next, 3 steps toward our cat Maggie... and then her grandest attempt yet was 4-5 steps toward a toy Mommy was holding for her. Talk about REALLY unbelievable! I wasn't anticipating this happening so soon!

She went from walking on her knees, to walking kind of sideways, to really walking well. So funny!

Ha ha! She is a fast learner and those first videos were cracking me up! Too cute.
